Description:

Plate depicting an adult male Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo) in full summer plumage, perched on the branch of a conifer. The Eurasian hobby is a migratory bird wintering in Africa or southern Asia. It lives in open, yet wooded areas, as it needs to nest in trees. It feeds mostly on insects.
