Discover the enchanting world of the Red-billed Chough (Pyrrhocorax pyrrhocorax), a captivating passerine bird native to Europe. Known for their distinctive red bills and distinctive 'chough' call, these agile birds are often spotted soaring above the majestic Alps in Austria, as depicted in Picture No. 11676071. In the tranquil landscapes of Tyrol, the Alpine Chough (Pyrrhocorax graculus) gracefully flies above the snow-capped mountains, showcasing their stunning plumage. Nesting sites for these birds can be found in derelict crofts, like those on the Isle of Islay in Scotland, where they share their homes with Jackdaws. Meanwhile, the Common Coot (Fulica atra) takes flight in Norfolk, England, adding another layer of diversity to Europe's rich avian heritage, as celebrated in the Morris lithographs of crows.
