About These Birds
Hoopoe
戴胜是欧亚非三洲广泛分布的独特鸟类，具有橙棕色扇形冠羽和黑白相间的翅膀。喙长而弯曲，腹部具纵纹。栖息于开阔林地、耕地和果园，以地面上的昆虫和蠕虫为食。以其响亮特异的'扑扑扑'叫声而闻名，是以色列的国鸟。
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.
