About These Birds
Asian Woollyneck
75–92 cm. White body; black back and wings; white woolly neck feathers; red bill and legs; dark eyes. Resident across South and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa in wetlands and open woodland. Feeds on fish, frogs, and invertebrates. Sometimes treated as conspecific with African Woollyneck.
Mandschurenstorch
Der Mandschurenstorch ist eine der am stärksten gefährdeten Storchenarten; in freier Wildbahn leben noch weniger als 3.000 Individuen. Einst war er in ganz Ostasien weit verbreitet, ging jedoch durch die Trockenlegung von Feuchtgebieten und den Einsatz von Pestiziden dramatisch zurück. Wiederansiedlungsprogramme in Japan und Korea konnten bemerkenswerte Erfolge erzielen.
