About These Birds
Yellow-billed Stork
97 cm, wingspan 150–165 cm. White body with black flight feathers; naked yellow-orange face and yellow bill. Resident sub-Saharan Africa in wetlands, lake margins, and flooded grasslands. Feeds on fish, frogs, and invertebrates. Highly nomadic following rainfall; breeds colonially in trees or reedbeds.
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.
