About These Birds

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.

Atlas Flycatcher

The Atlas Flycatcher is a small Old World flycatcher breeding in the Atlas Mountains of northwest Africa. Weighing about 12.6g, the male shows bold black-and-white plumage typical of the pied flycatcher group. It inhabits mountain woodlands and olive groves, catching insects on short aerial sallies from exposed perches.
