Lanner Falconimmature, close-up portrait
They have a wide range, from mountains to deserts and open grasslands. They hunt birds, small birds of prey, and small mammals, snakes and large insects. He dropped the dove, and was walking around, looking for it. Here he is approaching it.
Ils occupent un vaste territoire, depuis les montagnes jusqu'aux déserts et les zones herbeuses ouvertes. Ils chassent des oiseaux, de petits oiseaux de proie, des petits mammifères, des serpents et de grands insectes. Il a attrapé une tourterelle et tourne autour en la regardant. Là, il s'approche d'elle.
