About These Birds
Lesser Adjutant
110–120 cm. Naked red-yellow head with white ruff; large pale bill. Resident across South and Southeast Asia in wetlands, mangroves, and agricultural areas. Vulnerable; declining due to habitat loss and hunting. Feeds on fish, frogs, and carrion; nests colonially in trees.
Mandschurenstorch
Der Mandschurenstorch ist eine der am stärksten gefährdeten Storchenarten; in freier Wildbahn leben noch weniger als 3.000 Individuen. Einst war er in ganz Ostasien weit verbreitet, ging jedoch durch die Trockenlegung von Feuchtgebieten und den Einsatz von Pestiziden dramatisch zurück. Wiederansiedlungsprogramme in Japan und Korea konnten bemerkenswerte Erfolge erzielen.
