  • Black Kite (Milvus migrans)  A diurnal bird of prey that feeds of small mammals, bird and fish.<br />
RANGE: Temperate & tropical Eurasia & Australia.<br />
Doñana National & Natural Park. Huelva Province, Andalusia. SPAIN<br />
1969 - Set up as a National Park<br />
1981 - Biosphere Reserve<br />
1982 - Wetland of International Importance, Ramsar<br />
1985 - Special Protection Area for Birds<br />
1994 - World Heritage Site, UNESCO.<br />
The marshlands in particular are a very important area for the migration, breeding and wintering of European and African birds. It is also an area of old cultures, traditions and human uses - most of which are still in existance.<br />

  • Magnificent Frigatebird (Fregata magnificens)<br />
Isabela Island. GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
2 of the world's 5 frigatebird species inhabit the Galapagos Islands. These birds have the largest wingspan to bodyweight ratio of any bird. This makes them highly manoeuvrable and acrobatic fliers. They are notorious as piratical cleptomaniacs and often steal food from other birds at every opportunity. A frigatebirds is able to discriminate between a bird with a full gullet and one which is empty. The unlucky booby or tropicbird may be plucked out of the air, dangled by the tail and shaken until it regurgitates its food which is then stolen by the frigatebird. The Magnificent frigate is the larger of the two species found in the islands.  In breeding season the male finds a suitable nesting area. Then slowly, over 20 minutes he pumps air into his grossly exaggerated bright red throat pouch until it is the size of a party balloon. As soon as the adult female flies by he loses control and erupts into fits of rapturous head-shaking and vibrating while uttering a shrill high-pitched cry. If the female is suitably impressed she will alight beside him and with his wing jealously protecting her the pair bond is sealed. Only one chick is reared on the flimsy stick nest.

  • Vampire Finch or Sharp-beaked Ground Finch (Geospiza difficilis) feeding on blood from Nazca Booby. (Sula granti)<br />
Wolf Island<br />
GALAPAGOS ISLANDS<br />
ECUADOR.  South America<br />
On Darwin and Wolf Islands this species has developed the interesting feeding habit of pecking the base of the back feathers until the bird bleeds and drinking the blood. Normally they feed on bird lice but this is probably due to the pausity of food and water on these two islands.

  • Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophrys) in section of the colony which is being studied.  Long term research project to investigate the reasons why the population is in decline. Whether it be in the adult stock, chick recruitment into the population or sub-adult mortality. Birds are ringed to identify individuals which is also showing high pair and nest site fidelity. During research period the birds are marked with orange paint to observe their location at sea and to ensure that each bird in the study area is censused which allows for less handling during the season.<br />
Steeple Jason Island. FALKLAND ISLANDS.<br />
They return to the same nest annually. The nest is a a solid pillar up to 50cm high of mud and guano with some grass and seaweed incorporated. A single egg is laid in October and juveniles fledge between mid March and April. They have a circumpolar range betweeen 65 S and 20 south and breed on Subantarctic Islands, Including South Georgia and islands off southern South America. In the Falklands they are also found on Beauchene, Saunders, West Point and New Island.<br />
The Jasons (Grand, Elephant and Steeple) are a chain of islands 40 miles (64km) north and west off West Falkland towards Patagonia. Steeple is 6 by 1 mile (10Km by 1.6km) in size. From the coast the land rises steeply to a rocky ridge running along the length. <br />
THIS ISLAND HAS THE LARGEST BLACK-BROWED COLONY IN THE WORLD WITH 100,000+ PAIRS. The island is owned by WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Falklands Conservation have an ongoing research project with the Albatross on Steeple Jason.<br />
