Diet composition of syntopically breeding falcon species Falco vespertinus and Falco tinnunculus in south-western Slovakia

Abstract: The red-footed falcon and Eurasian falcon represent two syntopical falcon species. While the Eurasian falcon is considered a common and numerous species in Slovakia, the red-footed falcon population has undergone a considerable decline during the past few decades. Nowadays it nests in a single locality in Slovakia, the Sysľovské polia Special Protection Area, which forms the northern and fragmented border of the species distribution area in Europe. By analysing prey remains from 9 nests (from 1998, 2001, 2013… Show more

“…The study sites were evaluated based on several factors: i) overall number of Orthoptera, Mantodea, Rodentia and Eulipotyphla species; ii) number of species known as the food of red-footed falcons and recorded primarily in the territory of Slovakia in the works of Balát & Bauer (1955) and Tulis et al (2017), and also in the diet of other parts of the Pannonian Lowlands (Fülöp & Szlivka 1988, Haraszthy et al 1994, Purger 1998, Szövényi 2015; and iii) abundance of individual species. For Orthoptera and Mantodea this was expressed with semiquantitative values (see above), while the locality score was calculated for each site: the sum of semiquantitative values (1-4) in all the studied plots of the locality was divided by the number of studied plots.…”

“…Its diet has been studied mainly during the breeding season (e.g. Purger 1998, Szövényi 2015, Tulis et al 2017, while there are no published studies of its diet during the species long distance trans-Saharan migration and during its stay in the winter quarters. In this study, data are presented on the diet of the species in Cyprus, during autumn migration.…”
