	Travellingbirder.com :: View topic - [Turkey] Levant Sparrowhawk at Alanya
		Here, we observed a sparrowhawk of which we had the idea it was a Levant.Unfortunately, the bird disappeared faster than it appeared.
		It caught a prey and flew in the dierction of the nearby mountains.
		Given the fact that a good number of birders visting Turkey passes this city and a regular site for breeding Levant Sparrowhawk is not known from the area (as far as I know), this information is hopefully valuable to some of you.

		During the past several years, the staff of the International Birding and Research Centre in Eilat (IBRCE), Israel, has made a concerted effort to collate, analyze and publish the bird-ringing data collected in Eilat in order to understand the ecology of migratory birds, with particular reference to their geographic origins (6, 7, 8, 10-27).
		Raptors originate in the Black Sea region and further east, including Levant Sparrowhawks (_Accipiter brevipes_), Steppe Eagles (_Aquila nipalensis_) and Steppe Buzzards (_Buteo buteo_), (14, 15, 16), Booted Eagle (_Hieraaetus pennatus_), Black Kite (_Milvus migrans_), Marsh Harrier (_Circus aeruginosus_), and Eurasian Sparrowhawk (_A.
		We sampled 1703 birds from 59 species in autumn 2001 and spring 2002 at Eilat and, although the overall average infection rate was 8 percent, the highest levels were found in species independent of habitat or taxonomy.

	Late September 2003 Birding Report, Israel
		Few of us on the survey would deny that the sudden appearance of Levant Sparrowhawks over a station is one of the highlights of our work, and most of the world's population of this species will pass through Northern Israel in a matter of days during mid to late September.
		The cumulative total of 66,000 Levant Sparrowhawks already counted on this year's survey is by far the largest number ever recorded in the history of the Northern Valleys survey, and yet still they continue to pass which's nothing short of amazing.
		The migration was fair at Sarrid with 484 Levant Sparrowhawk, 209 Lesser Spotted Eagle, 18 Short-toed Eagle, and 16 Honey Buzzards, while 2 Griffon Vultures and a Golden Eagle were probably not migratory.

	OSME - Raptors in Jordan
		Interestingly, during Israeli observations Levant Sparrowhawks Accipter brevipes were not seen to cross Wadi Araba or the Gulf of Aqaba and it is postulated that this was due to the more westerly breeding range of this species (Shirihai and Yekutiel 1991, Shirihai and Christie 1992).
		Additi onal data from spring 1995 confirm the importance of the rift margin route, with daily maxima at Wadi Dana of 1973 Steppe Buzzards on 1 April, and 490 Honey Buzzards and 500 Levant Sparrowhawks on 28 April (RSCN 1995b, Table 3).
		The only raptors seen at Aqaba in autumn were 75 Levant Sparrowhawks roosting in palms behind the beach on the night of 30 September/1 October 1990.

		Eurasian Sparrowhawk is Accipiter nisus and related to your Northern Goshawk, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned Hawks.
		I just thought maybe the Kestrel and the Sparrowhawk might be the same because of the tendency of some of our older birders here calling the American Kestrel a "Sparrowhawk".
		Your picture of the Eurasian Sparrowhawk, taken on April 6, 2002 could almost be the one in Birdforum's Header.

		Most birds fly very high over the survey posts making identification and counting quite difficult, though sometimes good views are possible especially in the early morning, when raptors are leaving their overnight roosts.
		The Levant Sparrowhawk in photo 9 for example was one of a small group which were roosting in the small trees alongside one of the survey posts.
		Numbers of raptors counted on the survey vary from year to year, taking Honey Buzzard for example an average total is something over 300,000, though in some years over half a million are counted passing though the area.

	Accipiter brevipes
		The males are particularly striking at close range, with their plain blue faces and red eyes and the juveniles have distinctive lines of dark spots down their underparts.
		The females are basically similar to a female Sparrowhawk but with a neat dark stripe down the middle of the chin.
		In flight, their gregarious behaviour is usually enough to identify them but you'll also notice that the males in the flock are conspicuously pale below with contrastingly dark wingtips.

		No fewer than 35 different species of raptors were involved with Honey Buzzards featuring heavily in both spring and autumn but, of the major species, Lesser Spotted Eagles and Levant Sparrowhawks were autumn species and Steppe Buzzards, Steppe Eagles and Black Kites were spring species.
		The total World population Lesser Spotted Eagle and Levant Sparrowhawk and the Pelearctic population of White Pelicans passed over each year.
