Black kites and whistling kites are among a group of bird species known as firehawks. They intentionally spread fires in order to catch prey.

Bird Info & Submission Reasons

Black Kite (Milvus migrans)

Continents: Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa

submitted for the Asian continent, but this bird is found all over the Eastern Hemisphere

Medium-sized, rather nondescript raptor with overall dark plumage. Varies considerably across range, but always note tail fork (can disappear when tail is fully open), and short head and neck. Juvenile averages paler and more contrastingly-marked. Flight style buoyant, gliding and changing direction with ease. Frequently forages in urban areas, rubbish dumps, aquatic habitats, and grassland, but usually avoids heavily forested areas. Sometimes solitary, but also gathers in large flocks on migration and at good feeding areas. (eBird)

Common Chiffchaff (Phylloscopus collybita)

Continents: Europe, Africa, Asia

"They go chiff-chaffchaff or perhaps chaff-chiff-chaff-chiff-chaff, which i think is brilliant. They're tiny flitty birds, very busy (i think the Latin name is something like leaf-inspector) and have bigger things to care about than humans. Books describe them as "drab" but they dress in soft smart browns with dark stockings and dashing yellow eyeliner. I love hearing their peeps from the hedges. I love them, have i made that clear your Honour? Anyway, my locals are off migrating and i miss them."

A very plain leaf warbler found in a variety of wooded and scrubby habitats, often near water. Best identified by voice: song is a slightly jerky double-noted chiff-chaff, chiff-chaff… (eBird)

A small dispute about precedence.

A Raven, Little Eagle, and Black Kite disputing who has first rights to a roadkill wallaby.
