About These Birds
Black-backed Forktail
The Black-backed Forktail is an elegant, long-tailed bird of rocky mountain streams in the eastern Himalayas through to southern China and mainland Southeast Asia. It has a black back and white underparts with a deeply forked black-and-white tail that it constantly bobs and fans. It forages along fast-flowing streams for aquatic insects, small crustaceans, and fish.
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.
