Description


The Lanner Falcon is about the size of a Peregrine but is longer in the wing and tail and slimmer in the body so it looks less chunky. It also lacks the striking black-and-white face pattern of a Peregrine, since there is always lots of brown in the crown and the moustachial lobe is much less prominent. Lanners can also be mistaken for Saker Falcons but these usually look altogether more powerful with browner backs, white heads and, in adults, dark trousers. While not as fast as the Peregrine with her stooped dive, she is one of the worlds fastest horizontal flight raptors, often taking her prey from the front for additional velocity. I love these birds... most of the raptors actually. There is just something so majestic about them. Or perhaps it's the age old dream of man to fly with the eagles and share their world... Either way, they are, to me at least, magnificent.
