Présence dans le détroit
Common resident associated with rocky coastal or inland areas (35 pairs in 1998).
Identification
The largest and fastest of the falcons. Adults have slate-grey upperparts that contrast with white underparts which are barred black; blackish crown and prominent, broad black moustachial stripe. Pointed tail and wings, medium-sized. Juveniles have brownish upperparts and cream, heavily streaked underparts. It flies with rapid wing-beats interspaced with short glides. Strong pair bond and highly territorial behaviour.
Déplacements
Scarce passage (<25 post. migr.) mainly due to juvenile dispersion and arrival of birds from N Europe for the winter. Peaks in September and October.
