In flight, it is generally between the kestrel and the falcon. It has shorter wings and a thinner structure than the falcon. It stays away from deserted and dry lands and does not live in mountainous areas and closed forests. It often chooses wide plains where there are trees of all kinds, although sparsely, and especially where insects are abundant. It socializes all year round. In autumn, during migration, they form migration groups of almost a few hundred, up to groups of 5-20. It usually feeds on arthropods, sometimes also eats small vertebrates. It is opportunistic when hunting. Like the shrike, it perches on a branch and swoops down on its prey when it finds the opportunity. It sometimes feeds its young on small vertebrates. In addition to hunting flying insects in the air, it can also land next to or right on its prey while suspended in the air.
