About These Birds

Japanese White-eye

일본동박새는 동아시아 전역에 서식하는 작고 활발한 새이다. 뚜렷한 흰 눈 고리가 특징이며 올리브색과 녹색의 밝은 깃털을 가진다. 꽃의 꿀과 작은 곤충, 과일을 먹으며 숲, 공원, 정원 등 다양한 환경에서 생활한다.

Northern Gannet

The northern gannet is a spectacular plunge-diver, folding its two-meter wingspan into an arrow shape to hit the water at up to 100 km/h. Air sacs under the skin and a reinforced skull protect it from the impact. Bass Rock in Scotland hosts over 150,000 gannets, the largest single colony of any seabird in the world.
