This is my contribution for the Birds on Thursday ..Птицы в четверг.от

Today I would like to introduce you to a particularly rare bird of prey "The Barteleur"

The Bateleur is a relatively large bird of prey, the wings however, with which it reaches spans of 168 to 190 cm, but are exceptionally long and have with 25 arms swing most of all birds of prey.
The weight is between 1820 and 2950 g.

When departing the Barteleur starts with unusually fast wing beats and then falls into the typical 50-60 km / h gliding gliding, in which he holds the wings in a deep V and swinging back and forth.

On the one hand, it actively hunts for prey such as mammals and birds, but also specifically searches for carrion and also eats bird eggs, insects such as termites or grasshoppers, dead fish or crabs.

The Barteleur is on the Red List and is threatened with extinction.
