Really wonderful things happen at the Rescue Centre this spring! Yet another long wait is finally over and we saw the first attempts for copulation of the pair of Egyptian Vultures.
On March 1, 2017 in two regions of Vratsa the team of Society for protection of birds of prey, which is part of the LIFE14 NAT/BG/649 project carried out monitoring of two nesting Griffon vultures. In the first nest, which has also been occupied in 2016, there was one incubating bird. In the second nest above Vratsa – newly built in 2017 also one incubating bird was spotted.
Bright future for Black vulture’s team has met managers from the local electricity providing company CEZ to present and discuss dangerous powerlines and how to stop killing of birds. Emilian Stoynov, who is the Director of Fund for Wild Flora and Fauna and is a part of project’s team, has presented the various accidents with birds-victims from electrocution
The team of LIFE14 NAT/BG/649 project participated in the International tourism exhibition HOLIDAYAND SPA EXPO 2017. It was realized thanks to the kind invitation of the colleagues from “Vrachanski Balkan” National park Directorate and Vratsa municipality.
Unknown are the ways of… vultures… Often our birds travel to other countries and experience various adventures, fortunately some of them come across good people… This is the case of K0R, we had a signal for from the village of Beli Izvor, Vratsa
On 09.02.2017 a citizen called for a dead vulture, found under an electricity pylon close to the town of Sliven.
With the increase of the temperatures, the team of BPPS carried out the regular monitoring of the Griffon Vultures in the area of Vrachanski Balkan. Minimum of six pairs were confirmed, but we believe that there will be more!
The vulture K5M was admitted at the Wildlife Rescue Centre on January 3d with decreased weight due to severe winter. After a short period of intensive rehabilitation, it successfully recovered and is now ready to be released back into the wild.
After a long wait, the two Black Vultures kept at the Wildlife Rescue Centre has finally formed a pair!
