About These Birds
Jungfernkranich
Der Jungfernkranich ist die kleinste Kranichart, unternimmt jedoch einen der anstrengendsten Vogelzüge, indem er den Himalaya in Höhen von über 8.000 Metern überquert, um seine Winterquartiere in Indien zu erreichen. Wegen seiner eleganten Erscheinung von Marie-Antoinette benannt, ist er die zweithäufigste Kranichart der Welt.
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.
