About These Birds
Common Kingfisher
カワセミ（Alcedo atthis）— ユーラシアおよびアフリカに広く分布する鮮やかな青橙色の鳥。川や池のほとりで魚を捕食する。
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.
