Description: | The Red Footed Falcon is a small falcon with a long tail, which normally breeds in Asia. It ranges from the Baltic coast eastwards as far as parts of Mongolia. It lives in open country, interspersed with stands of trees. In autumn the birds migrate south and spend the winter in southern Africa. This bird was shot on the cliffs at Marsden, South Shields in October, 1836. It had probably been blown off course by a storm whilst on migration.
