1 Nature Quiz British Birds Birds of Prey Birds of prey are birds that hunt for food primarily on the wing, using their keen senses, especially vision. Because of their predatory lifestyle, often at the top of the food chain, they face distinct conservation concerns. See how much you know in the following Natural History quiz on the subject. 1. What is the name of this bird? [ ] Montagu's Harrier Binomial: Circus pygargus Status: Breeding Summer Visitor And Passage Migrant It is an extremely rare breeding bird in the UK, and its status is precarious. Each pair needs special protection. It is a summer visitor, and migrates to Africa to spend the winter.
2 2. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Haliaeetus albicilla Status: Resident Breeder And Widespread Introductions It is the largest UK bird of prey. It went extinct in the UK during the early 19th century, due to illegal killing, and the present population has been reintroduced. 3. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Buteo buteo Status: Resident Breeder And Passage Migrant Pairs mate for life. The male performs a ritual aerial display before the beginning of spring. This spectacular display is known as 'the roller coaster'.
3 4. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Aquila chrysaetos Status: Resident Breeding Species They use their agility and speed combined with extremely powerful talons to snatch up prey. Prey includes mammals such as foxes. They have even been known to attack and kill fully grown roe deer. 5. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Circus aeruginosus Status: Resident Breeder And Passage Migrant It is a protected species in many countries. In Britain, a single breeding female was left in 1971, whereas today over 200 pairs are present.
4 6. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Pernis apivorus Status: Breeding Summer Visitor And Passage Migrant The nest sites of British breeding birds are usually kept secret to protect them from egg collectors. It is a summer visitor to its breeding sites and spends the winter in Africa. 7. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Circus cyaneus Status: Resident Breeder, Winter Visitor And Passage Migrant The Orkney population is polygynous, with males sometimes simultaneously mated to multiple females. Of the UK's birds of prey, this is the most intensively persecuted.
5 8. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Milvus milvus Status: Resident Breeder And Widespread Introductions It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes. At signs of danger a mother will signal the young who will "play dead". 9. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Accipiter nisus Status: Resident Breeder And Passage Migrant The female is up to 25% larger than the male one of the largest differences between the sexes in any bird species. The species features in Teutonic mythology. 10. What is the name of this bird? Binomial: Accipiter gentilis Status: Resident Breeder And Naturalised Escapes When seen close to it has a fierce expression with bright red eyes and a distinctive white eyebrow. In late winter and spring it has a 'sky-dance' display.
