About These Birds

gypaète barbu

The Bearded Vulture, or Lammergeier, is a spectacular high-mountain raptor found from the Pyrenees and Africa to Central and South Asia. Adults are orange-buff below, dark above, with a long diamond-shaped tail and striking beard of dark bristles below the bill. Uniquely, it feeds almost exclusively on bones, dropping them from height onto rocks to access the nutritious marrow.

Gymnogène d'Afrique

The African Harrier-hawk weighs about 700g and ranges across sub-Saharan Africa. Its double-jointed legs reach deep into tree holes and cliff crevices to extract nestlings and hidden prey.
