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.
Arabian Wheatear
The Arabian Wheatear is a small insectivorous chat from the Arabian Peninsula, belonging to the Muscicapidae family. It inhabits rocky desert terrain and arid hillsides, where it perches prominently on rocks and boulders to survey for insects. Its black-and-white patterning and upright posture are characteristic of wheatears in open landscapes.
