Spotted
The Lanner Falcon is a large, powerful falcon widely distributed across Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Europe and Asia. It is known for its strong, level flight and open country hunting.
Where to spot
Open savannas, semi-deserts, grasslands, and rocky areas across Africa, the Middle East, southeastern Europe, and parts of Asia.
How to spot
Look for its brown upperparts, rufous crown, and pale underparts with variable spotting. Its flight is powerful and direct, less prone to hovering than kestrels. Listen for its harsh, rapid calls.
When to spot
Active during the day, often seen soaring or perched on high vantage points. Observable year-round.
