Amur Falcon

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the Amur Falcon at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, Kwandwe Private Game Reserve, De Hoop Nature Reserve, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, Timbavati Private Nature Reserve and iSimangaliso Wetland Park and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The Amur Falcon is most recorded in Mpumalanga (21% of records), Limpopo (20% of records), KwaZulu-Natal (13% of records), based on 630 iNaturalist observations. 40 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the Amur Falcon on site or nearby.

Sightings of the Amur Falcon peak from Dec to Apr, based on 630 iNaturalist records. You may still see it outside those months, sightings are just less frequent.

The Amur falcon (Falco amurensis) is a small raptor of the falcon family. It breeds in south-eastern Siberia and Northern China before migrating in large flocks across India and over the Arabian Sea to winter in Southern Africa. It was earlier treated as a subspecies of the red-footed falcon and known as the eastern red-footed falcon.
