Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Look for 'bird alarm calls'. Small birds often give alarm calls when a sparrowhawk is present, indicating its presence even if unseen.
2. Scan woodland edges and clearings. They often perch concealed within trees, waiting to ambush prey. Look for them darting out from cover.
3. Watch bird feeders. Sparrowhawks are known to hunt around bird feeders, taking advantage of concentrated prey.
4. Observe flight patterns. Their low, fast, agile flight with rapid wing beats and glides is a key identification feature.
5. Listen for calls. During the breeding season, their 'kek-kek-kek' alarm call can reveal their presence.

Migrazione

Northern populations are migratory, moving south to warmer climes in winter (e.g., from Scandinavia to southern Europe/North Africa). Central and southern European populations are largely resident or undertake short-distance dispersal. Migration is often broad-front, but can be concentrated at bottlenecks.
