Least Concern

The Eleonora's Falcon is a falconid raptor of Mediterranean breeding islands and African wintering areas. It hunts from fast flight or exposed perches, taking birds, insects, bats, or small mammals. Strong pointed wings, keen eyesight, and bold territorial behavior help it exploit cliffs, trees, grasslands, farms, wetlands, or coastlines depending on the species.
