Description

Habitat

Ecology: It occurs in alluvial plains and dunes in the Guadalquivir marshes, plains and hills in central Spain, and high mountain slopes in the Sistema Central, where there is an absence of irrigated farmland. The abundance and distribution of rabbits, its favoured prey , influence population density , range and reproductive performance. Indeed, its evolutionary dependence on rabbits has been suggested as permanently limiting its abundance and distribution10. Data from Doñana national park in Spain show that the most important variables explaining nest site selection are height of tree and distance from human activity2. Many recently-colonised territories are in marginal areas, and several of the occupying pairs include at least one subadult bird6,12,14.
