» Near Threatened

» This falcon is considered a vagrant species to the Canaries, but during May-July 2015 unusually high numbers visited different islands of the archipelago. In the case of Tenerife, at least 40 birds arrived to Los Rodeos-Tenerife Norte airport and its surroundings, and about a half of them died due to collision with aeroplanes, despite the efforts of the personnel of the airport to avoid this problem.
