A hobby is a fairly small, very swift falcon with long, narrow wings. There are four birds called hobby , and some others which, although termed falcon , are very similar. All specialise in being superb aerialists. Although they will take prey on the ground if the opportunity presents itself, most prey is caught on the wing insects by hawking birds hawking , birds are flown down even swift s and hirundinidae swallows often cannot outpace or outmanoeuver a hobby. The typical hobbies are traditionally considered a subgenus Hypotriorchis due to their similar morphology biology morphology they have ample amounts of dark slaty grey in their plumage the malar stripe malar area is black and the underside usually has lengthwise black streaks. The tails are all dark or have only slight bands White et al. 1994 . Monophyly of Hypotriorchis is supported by DNA sequence data, though the exact limits of the group are still uncertain. The hobbies seem to be one of the Falco lineages which emerged around the Miocene Pliocene boundary some 8 5 million years ago and subsequently evolutionary radiation radiated in this case throughout the Old World . Their relationship to the Peregrine Falcon group and the kestrel s is not well resolved, however taxa like the Red footed Falcon appear in some respects intermediate between the kestrels and the typical hobbies. ref Helbig et al. 1994 , Wink et al. 1998 , Groombridge et al. 2002 , Nittinger et al. 2005 ref Eurasian Hobby Falco subbuteo , also known as the Northern Hobby.

It is also a winter migrant to Indonesia and New Guinea . It is one of Australia s smallest Bird of prey raptor s and is about 30 36 cm long. It strongly resembles the Peregrine Falcon , however it is much smaller and has darker plumage. It inhabits open woodland s where it manoeuvres swiftly through the foliage in chase of other bird s. It is very adaptable and will visit Urban area urban park s and garden s, and remnant bushland . They will hunt small birds, up to nearly their own size, and are often seen at dusk hunting bats and large insects. When breeding it takes over nests of other birds. The female incubates and broods young while the male hunts. It gets its scientific name from its narrow long flighted wings. This adaptable falcon often shadows the collared sparrow hawk in suburban terrain, benifitting from birds flushed out of dense foliage by the more agile hawk. Prey fleeing cover for the open where they can out fly the sparrowhawk is then taken in a stoop or stoop and chase by the faster falcon. Hobbies have been observed waiting on over sparrowhawk much like a trained falconer s bird would, much to the chagrin of the hawk who will regularly attack the falcon and pursue it in a sometimes spectacular aerial dogfight. commonscat Falco longipennis wikispecies Falco longipennis References IUCN2006 assessors BirdLife International year 2004 id 49511 title Falco longipennis downloaded 12 May 2006 Database entry includes justification for why this species is of least ... more details
