The Lanner Falcon hunts birds around rocky and open country. It uses long, pointed wings and a short tail to pursue prey in level flight.
Adults have grey-brown upperparts, a pale underside and a rufous crown and nape. North African adults have heavier markings below, while juveniles have browner backs and dark streaks.
It catches small and medium-sized birds in flight. It may also take bats, insects, small mammals and reptiles.
