🇺🇸: The pied avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta) is a wader species in the avocet and stilt family (Recurvirostridae). It is a medium-sized bird, measuring 42–46 cm in length. The pied avocet is easily recognized by its striking black-and-white plumage, long greyish legs, and its characteristically upcurved, slender bill. Its breeding range extends across coastal and inland wetlands in Europe, Central Asia, and parts of Africa. During winter, it migrates to southern Europe and sub-Saharan Africa. Like other waders, the pied avocet primarily feeds on aquatic invertebrates. Its diet includes insects, crustaceans, and small worms, which it sweeps from shallow water using its curved bill.

🇩🇪: Der Säbelschnäbler (Recurvirostra avosetta) ist eine Watvogelart aus der Familie der Säbelschnäbler und Stelzenläufer (Recurvirostridae). Er ist ein mittelgroßer Vogel mit einer Körperlänge von 42–46 cm. Der Säbelschnäbler ist leicht an seinem auffälligen schwarz-weißen Gefieder, den langen grauen Beinen und dem charakteristisch nach oben gebogenen, schlanken Schnabel zu erkennen. Sein Brutgebiet erstreckt sich über Küsten- und Binnenfeuchtgebiete in Europa, Zentralasien und Teilen Afrikas. Im Winter zieht er in südlichere Regionen Europas sowie nach Afrika südlich der Sahara. Wie andere Watvögel ernährt sich der Säbelschnäbler vorwiegend von wirbellosen Wassertieren. Zu seiner Nahrung zählen Insekten, Krebstiere und kleine Würmer, die er mit seinem gebogenen Schnabel aus seichtem Wasser herausfiltert.

🇺🇸: The fallow deer (Dama
dama) is a medium-sized deer. The fallow deer is significantly larger than the roe deer, but smaller and, above all, lighter than a red deer. The European subspecies has a head-body length of 120 to 140 centimeters, a tail of around 20 centimeters long, and a shoulder height of 80 to 100 centimeters. The weight of the males usually varies between 53 and 90 kilograms. The females, on the other hand, weigh between 35 and 55 kilograms. The fallow deer prefers open forests with extensive meadows, but is generally very adaptable, so that it can be found in almost all regions of Europe. Ideal fallow deer territories have a dense mosaic of forest and field areas, with the forest consisting predominantly of deciduous trees. The soil is nutrient-rich and produces lush shrub vegetation.

🇺🇸: The white-spotted bluethroat (Luscinia svecica cyanecula) is a subspecies of the bluethroat, a small passerine bird in the Old World flycatcher family (Muscicapidae). It measures about 13 to 14 centimeters in length and weighs between 13 and 20 grams. Its wingspan typically ranges from 20 to 22 centimeters. The white-spotted bluethroat inhabits wet meadows, reed beds, and willow thickets, often near bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and marshes. It breeds in parts of Central and Western Europe, particularly in lowland areas with suitable wet habitats. During the breeding season, which usually lasts from May to July, males are known for their striking blue throat with a distinctive white central spot and their elaborate song. In autumn, they migrate to wintering grounds in North Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Their diet consists mainly of insects and other small invertebrates during the breeding season, while berries and seeds may supplement their food in late summer and during migration.
