About These Birds

Slaty-backed Goshawk

The Slaty-backed Goshawk (<em>Accipiter luteoschistaceus</em>) is a forest raptor in the family Accipitridae, the hawks, eagles, and kites. It is endemic to the Bismarck Archipelago of Papua New Guinea, primarily recorded from New Britain and New Ireland, where it inhabits tropical forest environments. This species is assessed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, reflecting its restricted range and susceptibility to habitat loss from logging and forest clearance across the Bismarck islands. Detailed plumage and behavioral descriptions of this species are limited …

Griffon Vulture

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.
