About These Birds
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.
Bateleur
The Bateleur is an Endangered eagle of the family Accipitridae found in open savanna and woodland across sub-Saharan Africa. Weighing about 2,400g with an impressive wingspan of 100.1cm, it is distinguished by its extremely short tail and vivid red facial skin and bill. It soars for hours over vast distances, feeding primarily on carrion and occasionally taking live prey.
