아담사 2023. 1. 24. 18:23

This winter, a very rare Great Bustard came to Cheorwon area.

It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1996.

 

It breeds in open grasslands and farmland from northern Morocco, South and Central Europe, to temperate Central and East Asia. European populations are mainly resident, but Asian populations migrate farther south in winter. 

 

The great bustard breeds in March, and a single male may mate with up to five females.

The species is gregarious, especially in winter when gatherings of several dozen birds may occur. Male and female groups do not mix outside of the breeding season.
