Habitat
This species is extensively expanded throughout a wide-range of habitats, from forests to wastelands, heaths, moors, meadows, marshlands, groves and riverbanks, from the sea-side areas to the mountain areas. They prey in clear spaces. They snatch and occupy the nests of corvids to nest.
They spend the summer in Spain, between April and September, and they nest in most parts of the Iberian Peninsula, although less in the Mediterranean coast. They feed on swallows, bats, swifts, etc.
They nest in Doñana and are more abundant in summer. They colonise mature pine-woodlands and they fly over forests, pools, ponds…
They are included in the Red List of the Endangered Vertebrates of Andalusia.
