Description
This Falcon gets its name for a double blade it has in its beak which makes it even better to tear apart the prey. However this is a common feature in Falcons anyway..
Most prey, but not all of the Lanner Falcon's kills is taken in the air, when the falcon descends to its prey and binds to it with a smack which can be heard some way off. It then carries it off.
Occasionally it will strike its prey in the air and allow it to drop to the ground, collecting it there, but this is less frequent behaviour.
When defending its nesting territory, it will often stoop with tremendous force at an animal it cannot hope to kill, which seems to be, nonetheless, an effective deterrent.
Can be difficult to ID at times as it does appear to look like both a Peregrine and a Sekar falcon.. The Peregrines have a darker hood and the Sekar falcon less prominant head markings on the side of the face.

Oh what a wonderful and proud looking bird this Falcon is! Beautifully taken!!!
fabulous poser of a shot!
I only recently learned that all falcons are females. Why didn't some tell me sooner. I worked on the engine for the "Fighting Falcon" with dozens of female math aids. It could have been endearing.
Wow I would describe this bird with one word that is majestic it looks like royalty what a gorgeous photo :) Cathy xoxoxo
