great bustard
The great bustard (''Otis tarda'') is in the bustard family, the only member of the genus ''Otis''. It breeds in southern and central Europe, and across temperate Asia. European populations are mainly resident, but Asian birds move further south in winter. Portugal and Spain now contain about 60% of the world's population.〔
==Taxonomy and etymology==
The great bustard was classified with its scientific name in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus, though the species was referred to as ''avis tarda'' in the much older writings of Pliny the Elder, and hence its names in English (from Old French ''bistarda'') and some other languages: ''abetarda'' (pt), ''avetarda'' (gl), ''avutarda'' (es). ''Otis'' is an Old Greek name for "bustard". The specific name, ''tarda'', is Latin for "slow" and "deliberate", which is apt to describe the typical walking style of the species.〔
