Examples of "falcon_falco_biarmicus"
Bird species include lanner
falcon
("
Falco
biarmicus
"), buzzard, swallows, martins, sparrows and doves; including the Namaqua dove ("Oena capensis").
The lanner
falcon
("
Falco
biarmicus
") is a medium-sized bird of prey that breeds in Africa, southeast Europe and just into Asia. It is mainly resident, but some birds disperse more widely after the breeding season.
Among the birds of prey found at the reserve are the bearded vulture or lammergeier ("Gypaetus barbatus"), Egyptian vulture ("Neophron percnopterus"), Eurasian griffon vulture ("Gyps fulvus"), peregrine ("Falco peregrinus"), lanner
falcon
("
Falco
biarmicus
") and others. Other birds found at the reserve include: Caspian snowcock ("Tetraogallus caspius"), chukar partridge ("Alectoris chukar"), grey partridge ("Perdix perdix") and the common quail ("Coturnix coturnix"). Birds living in the semi-desert foothills are the European nightjar ("Caprimulgus europaeus"), European bee-eater ("Merops apiaster") and passerines are widespread.
Threats to the species come from the use of organochlorine pesticide sprays in northern Zimbabwe which may have reduced numbers there, and pesticide-spraying (e.g. through operations to control red-billed quelea and locusts) may pose a threat in other regions. Tourist flights using helicopters and microlight aircraft seem to have caused major disturbance to birds resident along the Victoria Falls gorges, where the remaining birds are threatened with flooding by a proposed dam. Reasons for its scarcity in East Africa possibly include competition for food and nest sites with the larger and more dominant peregrine falcon ("Falco peregrinus") and predation of young by the peregrine falcon, lanner
falcon
("
Falco
biarmicus
"), and owls.
