The birds breed in extensive, more or less dense woodland areas in lowland and hilly regions. They are very secretive during the breeding period, except for their spectacular display-flights. There are two different colour varieties or morphs. The dark morph is rarer than the pale morph and more difficult to identify. It can be confused with the Black Kite, the Western Marsh Harrier or even the Common Buzzard.
