The svelte Eleonora (Falco eleonorae) is the most remarkable species of bird that come to the islands. The Falcons nest on the cliffs of the coast and the shrill cry is heard from afar. It is a rare sight until thirty hawks together as a group tend to hunt in flocks.
The rarest of bird of prey nesting in the cliffs even the Northern Sporades is the Bonelli's eagle (Hieraaetus fasciatus). In form and shape resembles a large kite, and if you are among the lucky, you can enjoy the spectacular sight of a Bonelli's eagle that chases rabbits.
