BOTD: Collared Forest-Falcon

Photo: Dario Taraborelli

"Like the Harpy Eagle, the Collared Forest-Falcon is adapted for ambush hunting, with short, wide wings and a long tail that allow for agile maneuvers through thick undergrowth. It hunts by sitting quietly on a concealed perch until it hears prey, then pounces down on it. It also pursues prey on foot along large branches or on the ground. The Collared Forest-Falcon may even be seen following army ant swarms to capture prey flushed by the ants."

Замок «Соколиное гнездо».

Чешская Швейцария – это часть Эльбского Песчаникового горного массива, расположенная на территории Чехии. Здесь настолько невероятно красиво, что государство объявило в 2000 году это место национальным парком Чехии. Парк имеет много интересных мест, но самая интересная достопримечательность - это Правческая Брана или Правчицкие Ворота (Pravčická brána), которые  представляют собой самые большие естественные ворота в Европе, образованные из скалистого массива - пролет арки 26,5 м, высота - 16 м.

В 1881 году австрийский принц Эдмунд Клари-Альдринген решил создать на территории своего имения в непосредственной близости от Правчицких ворот одну из самых первых туристических достопримечательностей Европы. Он нанял итальянских мастеров для строительства внушительного замка под названием «Соколиное гнездо». В нынешнее время в замке на втором этаже расположился музей Национального парка Чешская Швейцария, кстати, единственный. На первом этаже есть ресторан с сохранившейся до сих пор оригинальной отделкой деревянных стен и такими же оригинальными потолочными росписями. Интерьер заведения выдержанн в стиле 100-летней давности.  С замковой площадки открываются чудесные виды на национальный парк.

The Falcon's Nest Castle.

Czech Switzerland is a part of the Elbe Sandstone Mountain range, located on the territory of the Czech Republic. It is so incredibly beautiful here that the state declared this place a national park of the Czech Republic in 2000. The park has many interesting places, but the most interesting attraction is The right Brane or Pravchicka Gate (Pravčická brána), which is the largest natural gate in Europe, formed from a rocky massif - arch span of 26.5 m, height - 16 m.

In 1881, Austrian Prince Edmund Clary-Aldringen decided to create one of the first tourist attractions in Europe on the territory of his estate in the immediate vicinity of the Pravchitsky Gate. He hired Italian craftsmen to build an impressive castle called the Falcon's Nest. At the present time, the museum of the Czech Switzerland National Park is located in the castle on the second floor, by the way, the only one. On the ground floor there is a restaurant with original wooden wall decoration and the same original ceiling paintings. The interior of the restaurant is designed in the style of 100 years ago. The castle grounds offer wonderful views of the national park.

October 16, 2024 - Collared Forest-Falcon (Micrastur semitorquatus) Found from central Mexico to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, these falcons live in forests and mangroves. They eat birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and some invertebrates, probably finding their prey by hearing and often running it down on the ground or hunting from perches. Nesting in cavities in large trees, females incubate clutches of two or three eggs while males bring them food.

whenever I feel sad about not being able to pet stray cats, I'm cheered up by the fact that random birds tend to like me
