About These Birds

Épervier d'Europe

The Eurasian Sparrowhawk (<em>Accipiter nisus</em>) is a widespread and well-known raptor of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), occurring across much of Europe and Asia. It is closely associated with forest habitats, including mixed woodland, conifer plantations, and wooded farmland where it hunts small birds with remarkable speed and agility. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited in the available literature for this record, though the species is known to display strong sexual dimorphism in size. …

Busard maure

The Black Harrier is an endangered, medium-sized raptor endemic to southern Africa with almost entirely black plumage, bold white barring on the tail, and characteristic pale eyes. It inhabits lowland fynbos, Renosterveld, and wetland edges primarily in the Western and Northern Cape provinces of South Africa. It hunts by quartering low over open terrain, capturing small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects.
