Papamoscas Collarino

<em>Ficedula albicollis</em>, the Collared Flycatcher, is a migratory passerine bird in the family Muscicapidae. This species is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It breeds across central and eastern Europe, with documented occurrences in Belgium, Denmark, Latvia, Norway, and Sweden, and winters in sub-Saharan Africa. The species inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, where it nests in tree cavities. The Collared Flycatcher is named for the broad white collar displayed by breeding males, which also show a black back and cap contrasting with white underparts. It is an aerial insectivore, catching flying insects in short sallies from exposed perches. <em>Ficedula albicollis</em> has been extensively studied as a model species in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly regarding sexual selection, life history trade-offs, and the effects of climate change on migratory timing. Diet, population estimates, and biological measurements such as average length, weight, and lifespan are not specified in the available records. Its Least Concern status reflects stable European breeding populations.

Foca común

El pinípedo de distribución más amplia, la foca común (Phoca vitulina) habita las costas templadas y subárticas del Atlántico Norte y el Pacífico Norte. Los adultos alcanzan hasta 130 kg y pasan aproximadamente el mismo tiempo en el mar cazando peces, calamares y crustáceos que descansando en playas y rocas. Sus grandes y expresivos ojos están adaptados para la visión subacuática en condiciones de poca luz. La foca común es una fuente de alimento fundamental para orcas, tiburones y osos polares.
