About These Birds
Common Kestrel
チョウゲンボウ（Falco tinnunculus）— ヨーロッパからアジア、アフリカに広く分布する小型のハヤブサ。ホバリングしながら地上の獲物を探す行動が特徴。
シロエリハゲワシ
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.
