Eleonora's Falcon (Falco eleonorae) is a medium-sized falcon.
It belongs to the hobby group, a rather close-knit number of similar falcons often considered a subgenus Hypotriorchis.
Eleonora's Falcon is named after Eleonor of Arborea, national heroine of Sardinia.
Eleonora's Falcon is an elegant bird of prey, 36–42 cm long with an 87-104 cm wingspan.
It is shaped like a large Eurasian Hobby or a small slender Peregrine Falcon, with its long pointed wings, long tail and slim body.
This is a long-distance migrator, wintering in Madagascar.
The total distance covered during the flight has reached up to 9000 km for a single one-way trip.
The call is a typical falcon kek-kek-kek. (Wikipedia)
