New Zealand falcon with eggs. Behaviourally and physically the species occupies a distinct place in the world of falcons. Its wings are relatively short and rounded, and its tail relatively long. Unlike the migratory cosmopolitan peregrine falcon it is sedentary, keeping to a home range where it nests more or less in the same place year after year.
