A nasal, cackling 'kak-kak-kak-kak' or grunting 'uh-uh-uh' at the nest and colony. Less melodic than petrels. In flight gives occasional single nasal calls.

About These Birds

Hawfinch

왜가리콩새는 유럽 조류 중 몸 크기 대비 가장 강력한 부리를 가져 60kg의 힘으로 체리씨를 깰 수 있다. 유럽과 아시아 온대림에 번식하며 씨앗, 과일 씨, 새순을 먹는다.

Northern Fulmar

The northern fulmar is a long-lived seabird that can survive over 40 years. It defends its nest by projectile-vomiting a foul-smelling stomach oil at intruders, which can mat the feathers of predators and cause fatal loss of waterproofing. Fulmars have expanded their breeding range dramatically southward over the past two centuries.
