Breeding population of Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in Lazio, Central Italy: 1983–2017

Abstract In 1983–1984 the nesting population of Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) in Lazio was estimated to 25–30 pairs located mainly in the limestone massifs of the Southern Anti-Apennines and the Ponziane Islands. The monitoring carried out in the following years showed a steady increase in pop...
