Taita Falcon


The Taita Falcon is one of the smallest Falcons in the Southern African Sub-region.
It was first found in the Taita Hills of Kenya whence comes its name.
It is spread throughout the eastern portion of subsaharan Africa but is mostly found in Kenya.
There are a few nesting sites in Zimbabwe and Northeastern South Africa.
It is also rather scarce and relatively endangered.
In Southern Africa itself, there are a few regular breeding sites where
the birds can regularly be found.
