In big Swiss cities, I believe its a red kite thats a common sight. I mean really common, always some of them up in skies in central Zurich, Lausanne or Geneva.

In big Swiss cities, I believe its a red kite thats a common sight. I mean really common, always some of them up in skies in central Zurich, Lausanne or Geneva. It feels surreal in best way possible, I come from eastern Europe and cities back home are always a mix of crows, pigeons and little birds, mostly sprigs and sparrows. Birds of prey - thats stuff for wilderness only. One more thing to adapt to, not complaining at all though. To be clear - these are not megacities, but still sizeable enough to expect wilderness was driven away to mountains which are never too far here, especially for birds.
