Synopsis

The Amur falcon (Falco amurensis) is a small migratory raptor within the falcon family. It breeds in East Asia and overwinters in Southern Africa. Every year, thousands of Amur falcons gather at Doyang Reservoir in Nagaland during their annual migration, seeking refuge among the hills and waters.
