The lanner falcon (Falco biarmicus) is a medium-sized bird of prey that breeds in Africa, southeast Europe and just into Asia. Falco biarmicus prefers open habitat and is mainly resident, but some lanner falcons disperse more widely after the breeding season. A large falcon, it preys on birds and bats. Lanner falcons are predominantly located in open habitats and can range from the forest edge to the desert.
