About These Birds

Amsel

Die Amsel ist einer der bekanntesten und beliebtesten Singvögel Europas, geschätzt für ihren volltönenden, flötenden Gesang, den sie in der Morgen- und Abenddämmerung von Dächern und Baumwipfeln vorträgt. Ursprünglich ein scheuer Waldvogel, hat sie im Laufe der letzten zwei Jahrhunderte städtische Lebensräume besiedelt und sich zu einem der erfolgreichsten Stadtvögel entwickelt.

Ashy Thrush

The Ashy Thrush is a Vulnerable thrush endemic to the Philippines, found in the forest understory of Luzon and a few adjacent islands. Weighing about 63g with a wingspan near 22.8cm, it has predominantly grey plumage with scaled underparts. Continuing forest loss on its island range poses a significant threat.
