Did you know that… ? Birds of prey of the Ile de Ré
The black kite, black and brown in fact, eats dead fish. It can also be seen near rubbish tips. The reed buzzard, with its black-brown-grey feathers, flies low with its wings forming a “v”. To feed itself, it dives right into the reed. The fishing harrier, with itd white breast and black head, flies quietly above the water and catches fish with its claws.
