Young Eleanora’s falcons in their nest Falcon, a species nesting in colonies at the end of summer. In Sardinia, it is found with over four hundred mating pairs across the Sulcitan islands and along the cliffs of the Gulf of Orosei. In early November, the birds migrate to Madagascar. The species’ name refers to Eleonora of Arborea, a Sardinian judge who, in her legislation code (Carta de Logu, XIV century), prohibited the capture of falcons and the poaching of their nests: the objective was to preserve the aristocratic habit of falconry, with the ‘side effect’ of preserving the falconids from extinction. The Royal eagle is the largest Italian bird of prey except for the Griffin, which survives in about thirty mating pairs in north-west Sardinia. The females of the real eagle can reach a wing span of about 2.20 meters, whereas the male is smaller. The species, currently protected, has a sizable population in the Alpine chain, is present in the Pennine mountains and in Sicily, and about fifty mating pairs live in Sardinia. 17
