• Video camera is going to investigate the private life of the Egyptian vulture

A team of the LIFE+ project „The return of the Neophron“ funded by the European Commission and co-financed by the „A.G. Leventis“ foundation installed a video camera in a nest of Egyptian vultures in Bulgaria. This is a great opportunity for the public to look everyday and closely to the life of these globally threatened birds: from the hatch till the first flight.
 The installation of the video camera took place before the birds come from their wintering grounds. The camera has been well camouflaged so that it resembles to the rock and do not disturb the vultures. The success followed afterwards and the pair of Egyptian vultures gladly settled to the niche.
 Everyday online access to the video camera will be provided by the web-site of the project, which is still under construction.
