  • Description
  • Dubbed the 'Ghost of the fields' this is a passage migrant and winter visitor. It hunts over fields for small mammals and birds. The male is largely a ghostly grey colour, hence its nickname. Females and young birds are brown with subtle markings, including stripes under the wing. This species is a great wanderer, breeding on the steppes of northern and central Asia, and wintering in Arabia, India and sub-Saharan Africa.
