The European turtle dove faces different pressures — hunting on migration, loss of mixed herbaceous habitat, and a shortage of seed food in agricultural landscapes. Large predators such as the white-tailed eagle and Eurasian eagle-owl suffered in the 20th century from persecution, pesticides, and infrastructure collisions; today they are globally Least Concern, but regional threats remain.",{"q":113,"a":114},"Is a species with elevated status actually rare to see in the field?","Not necessarily. The lapwing and turtle dove are still noticeable in suitable habitat, and 'threatened' refers to population trend and vulnerability rather than day-to-day scarcity in well-chosen landscape. The eagle-owl, by contrast, remains difficult to see because of its nocturnal habits and naturally low density even where present.","Photorealistic wildlife photography, a white-tailed eagle swooping low with talons extended toward a lake surface while a Eurasian eagle-owl watches from a distant cliff ledge at dusk and a northern lapwing stands alert on a ploughed field in the foreground with its wispy crest raised, soft-focus background blending misty water, rugged cliff, and damp farmland, sharp focus on the lapwing's eye, cool fading dusk light with a warm rim on the eagle's wings, shallow depth of field, telephoto lens compression, 16:9",{},true,"species","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fredkie-ptitsy","14.07.2026",1,[123,127,131],{"label":124,"path":125,"description":126},"Species catalogue","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fvidy","Browse all bird species covered in the atlas",{"label":128,"path":129,"description":130},"Bird identifier","\u002Fopredelitel","Identify a bird you've seen by color, size, beak shape, habitat, and season",{"label":132,"path":133,"description":134},"Bird families","\u002Fsemeystva","Species grouped by taxonomic family",{"title":136,"description":137},"Rare and Threatened Birds — conservation status guide","Atlas species with elevated IUCN status: northern lapwing (NT), European turtle dove (VU), plus recovery stories of the white-tailed eagle and Eurasian eagle-owl.",{"loc":119},"vidy-ptic\u002Fredkie-ptitsy","vihMgXXrUOlq8Z6YwNgQj0rQ-9_YMesG8NbxZPHLO9o",{"ru":117,"es":117},[143,149,154,155,160],{"title":144,"description":145,"path":146,"coverImage":147,"publishedAt":148,"order":101},"Birds of Prey","Birds of prey hunt live vertebrate prey with keen eyesight, sharp talons, and a hooked bill — from the hovering common kestrel to the massive, fish-hunting white-tailed eagle.","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fkhishchnye-ptitsy","\u002Fimages\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fkhishchnye-ptitsy.png","13.07.2026",{"title":150,"description":151,"path":152,"coverImage":153,"publishedAt":120,"order":101},"How to Identify a Bird Species","Most bird identification starts with an observation, not a name — plumage color, size, beak shape, habitat, and season narrow the field faster than flipping through a list of species.","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fkak-opredelit-vid-ptitsy","\u002Fimages\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fkak-opredelit-vid-ptitsy.png",{"title":5,"description":103,"path":119,"coverImage":102,"publishedAt":120,"order":101},{"title":156,"description":157,"path":158,"coverImage":159,"publishedAt":148,"order":101},"Songbirds","Songbirds are the largest and most vocally elaborate group of birds in the atlas — from the chaffinch's cascading spring song to the nightingale's celebrated night-time performance.","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fpevchie-ptitsy","\u002Fimages\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fpevchie-ptitsy.png",{"title":161,"description":162,"path":163,"coverImage":164,"publishedAt":120,"order":101},"Waterfowl and Wetland Birds","Waterfowl and other wetland birds span dabbling ducks, grazing geese, elegant swans, and patient wading hunters — from the everyday mallard to the towering mute swan and the motionless grey heron.","\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fvodoplavayushchie-ptitsy","\u002Fimages\u002Fvidy-ptic\u002Fvodoplavayushchie-ptitsy.png",[166,167,169],{"label":124,"path":125,"description":126,"coverImage":101},{"label":128,"path":129,"description":130,"coverImage":168},"\u002Fimages\u002Fopredelitel\u002Findex.png",{"label":132,"path":133,"description":134,"coverImage":170},"\u002Fimages\u002Fsemeystva\u002Findex.png",[],1787114553665]
