About These Birds
Turmfalke
Der Turmfalke ist der häufigste Falke Europas und bekannt für seine Fähigkeit, bei der Jagd reglos im Wind zu rütteln, während er nach Beute Ausschau hält. Untersuchungen zeigen, dass Turmfalken ultraviolettes Licht sehen können und so die UV-reflektierenden Urinspuren von Wühlmäusen aufspüren. Die Art hat sich bemerkenswert gut an städtische Lebensräume angepasst.
Seeadler
Der Seeadler ist der größte Adler Europas und der viertgrößte der Welt. Einst in Großbritannien ausgestorben, wurde er durch Schutzprogramme erfolgreich in Schottland und Irland wiederangesiedelt. Diese kraftvollen Greifvögel können über 25 Jahre alt werden und gehen lebenslange Paarbindungen ein.
