About These Birds
Белоголовый сип
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.
Орлан-крикун
The African Fish-eagle is a large raptor weighing about 2.8kg found near lakes and rivers across sub-Saharan Africa. Its loud, far-carrying call and fish-snatching hunting technique are iconic.
