High-pitched, yelping 'klee-klee' and deep barking 'ra-ra-ra'. Less vocal than Bald Eagle but similar chattering quality. Gives gull-like wailing near nest in breeding season.

About These Birds

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.

Seeadler

Der Seeadler ist der größte Adler Europas und der viertgrößte der Welt. Einst in Großbritannien ausgestorben, wurde er durch Schutzprogramme erfolgreich in Schottland und Irland wiederangesiedelt. Diese kraftvollen Greifvögel können über 25 Jahre alt werden und gehen lebenslange Paarbindungen ein.
