In the rainy season (Nov-Apr) moves out of denser and taller deciduous woodlands of C Africa into more open
tree savanna further S, and probably into coastal E Africa; spring foliage turns woodland into forest and tree
savanna into woodland. May then enter towns in S Africa to prey mainly on doves and feral pigeons. Similar N-
S movements expected in W Africa, where species recorded (uncertainly) W to Senegambia. (del
