About These Birds
Great Tit
The great tit is the largest European tit and one of the most studied wild birds in the world. Research at Wytham Woods in Oxford has monitored great tit populations since the 1940s, contributing enormously to ecology and evolution. These innovative birds famously learned to open milk bottle tops in 20th-century Britain.
Peregrine Falcon
매는 세계에서 가장 빠른 동물로, 먹이를 향해 급강하할 때 시속 320km 이상의 속도를 낼 수 있습니다. 남극 대륙을 제외한 전 세계에 분포하며 도시 고층 건물에서도 번식합니다. DDT 사용으로 20세기 중반 크게 줄었다가 현재 회복되었습니다.
