Red-kite (IMAGE)
Caption
The red-kite breeds in forests, but seeks its prey on meadows and fields. Generalists like it don't suffer as much as specialized species. Around Lake Constance, the number of breeding pairs has even risen from 40 to 260. The bird of prey probably benefits from the milder winters of recent years.
