Otherwise, many bird species such as .B. redtails, snappers, grass mosquitoes and many others gave themselves a stelldichein at the water point under the fig tree. Here are some pictures from this time.

Since the egg laying of the blue-racks takes place in 48 hours rythmus, the young birds are also developed differently. So they are the first flügge and follow the alto-birds to the outside, while the stragglers are fed further in the brood-cave. So the alto-birds have a stressful time. I hope you like my video Part 2 and i'm happy about your comments.

My observations over the last few years show me that the number of blue-cracked breeding birds has declined sharply at this point, albeit fluctuating from year to year. Of course, I can't use all the recordings in such a video, so I made a selection according to the theme.

I hope you like it and i am pleased with your comments.

I'm just falling for a young mantis eating a bee. An hour later, the little one is eaten by a larger mantis. A medium-sized mantis just puts down her probably first oothek and then runs straight into the catch arms of a large, highly pregnant mantis.

The cannibal took 3 hours to consume her artgemossin without leftovers. From a certain height, almost all females can all be classified as cannibals. It is exclusively with us mainly the African giant worshipper, where the female reaches a length of 10 cm, the males about 7-8 cm. Interesting also with the mating, when the females carry the smaller males on the back with them.

As long as the Coppola is executed, the female has no way to grab the smaller male. Luckily, all the males I watched were able to get to safety immediately after the mating. But what if a couple is attacked by a large female mantis during coppola...

It is exclusively the African giant worshipper, where the female reaches a length of 10 cm, the males about 7-8 cm. By the way, males and females perform 10 skin changes before they are classified as adult mantis and are sexually mature. However, some animals can go through this in 3-4 weeks.

Three weeks later, an attentive farmer discovered an incapacitated vulture near its fields. Emaciated to 4.2 kg weight, the plumage full of parasites, so the young vulture was found there by the Game Found specialists and provided by Vet with medical care. Afterwards, he was placed in a shelter of the "Game and Fauna Department" for further care and pupings.

Now, after almost 4 months of care and medical care by the team of the "Game and Fauna" Department, the young griffon vulture with 7 kg live weight, healthy could be released back to freedom. The young vulture was given the name "Kostis", the obligatory foot ring and additionally a small GPS photovoltaic transmitter, so that you can always locate its position.

Let us keep our fingers crossed for his future. My thanks to the group of the "Game and Fauna Service" and "BirdLife Cyprus" for the good care of the young vulture.
