About These Birds
Archer's Robin-chat
Archer's Robin-chat is a medium-sized robin-chat from the Horn of Africa, weighing about 23 grams with a wingspan near 14 cm. It inhabits dense scrub and thickets in arid and semi-arid environments, typically remaining well-hidden within vegetation. Like other robin-chats, it forages for insects on or near the ground and delivers a melodious song.
Rotkehlchen
Das Rotkehlchen zählt zu den beliebtesten Vögeln Großbritanniens, wo es als inoffizieller Nationalvogel gilt. Trotz seines zutraulichen Wesens gegenüber Menschen verteidigt das Rotkehlchen sein Revier gegenüber Artgenossen äußerst aggressiv und singt dafür das ganze Jahr über. Sein unverkennbarer Gesang gehört zu den ersten, die in der Morgendämmerung zu hören sind.
