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.
Basalt Wheatear
The Basalt Wheatear is a wheatear of the family Muscicapidae recently described from the basalt desert regions of the Middle East. It inhabits open rocky terrain with sparse vegetation and perches prominently on stones and boulders. It catches insects by dropping to the ground from a perch in typical wheatear fashion.
