About These Birds
Elang-alap eurasia
The Eurasian Sparrowhawk (<em>Accipiter nisus</em>) is a widespread and well-known raptor of the family Accipitridae (Hawks, Eagles & Kites), occurring across much of Europe and Asia. It is closely associated with forest habitats, including mixed woodland, conifer plantations, and wooded farmland where it hunts small birds with remarkable speed and agility.

Hering griffon
The griffon vulture is one of Europe's largest flying birds and a crucial scavenger in Mediterranean ecosystems. These social birds nest in large cliff colonies and can soar for hours using thermals without flapping. Vulture populations faced a crisis from the veterinary drug diclofenac, which proved fatal when consumed through contaminated carcasses.
