Lanners also resemble small Peregrines and hybrids with Peregrines (Perilanner) are common in falconry. The falcons immediately above look similar to a large Barbary Falcon but the orange on the nape, the size and front markings indicate that they are (captive) Perilanners, hybrids of Peregrines for speed/strength and Lanners for increased agility.
