The Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo) is indeed a bird of prey that’s primarily found in Europe and Asia. The presence of this massage migrant in Tadoba would be a remarkable observation, potentially indicating a rare or migratory sighting.
Birdwatchers and ornithologists would indeed be thrilled to document such an occurrence and study its behavior and habitat preferences in this region.
It breeds in Europe and Northern Asia during the summer and migrates to Africa for the winter. These migrations can cover long distances, and they may pass through various regions during their journey making occasional appearances in places like Tadoba or other unexpected locations along their migration route.
