News from the monitoring of the Egyptian vultures in Bulgaria

The beginning of April is the beginning of the field work related to the Egyptian vultures. The cares of the next generation and ecologists duties are increasing with the same rate.
So far for this year we found 27 active breeding territories, 26 of which occupied by pairs (the number is the same as previous season) and one of the territories is occupied from a single bird. Unfortunately, one of the last territories of the species in Northern Bulgaria, where the male diappeared in the previous year, couldn’t recover and currently is lost.
More than half of the pairs (15) are incubating and we are expecting their number to increase.

We wish successful breeding season to all Egyptian vultures !
