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.
Abyssinian Slaty-flycatcher
The Abyssinian Slaty-flycatcher weighs around 24g and inhabits highland forests of Ethiopia and Eritrea. It perches upright on branches, sallying out to catch insects in the air.
