Résumé :

The Hobby Falco subbuteo has traditionally been regarded as a localised and extremely scarce breeding bird in Britain. There is now good evidence to suggest that the population has increased significantly during the past 20 years, and that this falcon has spread north and west from its original stronghold in central southern England. Figures derived from a number of detailed studies of the species' population density, in various parts of the country, suggest that the British breeding population may be as high as 2,200 pairs.
