About These Birds
Black Falcon
The Black Falcon is a large, uniformly dark-brown to blackish raptor with a streamlined build and long, pointed wings adapted for high-speed aerial pursuit. It is endemic to Australia, inhabiting open plains, lightly timbered grasslands, and arid scrublands, particularly in the interior. It hunts birds and large insects with remarkable speed and agility, often taking prey in flight.
African Pygmy-falcon
The African Pygmy-falcon is one of Africa's smallest raptors, with a wingspan of about 23 cm and a weight of around 61 g. It inhabits dry savannas and thornbush, often nesting in the large communal nests of weaver birds, and hunts lizards and large insects.
