A little warmth for the chick:

The chick definitely seemed to think so:

Hi everyone! :hi:
Poor Iniko below, among burnt trunks and leaves with a damaged paw, awaits the arrival of Redwood Queen.
Hold on Iniko! :wave:

October 23
Hello everyone! :hi:
On October 19, Iniko was transported to the Los Angeles Zoo by reserve staff. He will be monitored by a veterinarian for two weeks, then placed in an enclosure with other California condors. If everything goes well, then in a year Iniko will be released to the place where his cohort lives. The good news is that he doesn't have a broken leg, just a sprain.

Hello :hi:
I am not sure if I am right here with regard to a video I just came across by chance, but if not, perhaps someone can let me know where to post it instead. It is a rather beautiful video of a bearded vulture and a golden eagle "flying ballet" in the French Alps:

(I just saw that the video is from 2017. So if it is already known here on the forum, I'm of course happy to delete my post again!)

Look at the creature on Donna Elvira's beak (ay caramba, the lady is from Spain) :mrgreen:

Quote: " Releasing Donna Elvira and BelArosa

Donna Elvira is a female bird that hatched in the Bearded Vulture captive breeding centre of Guadalentín, which breeds most birds every years and specializes in double adoptions, and is managed by us at the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) following an agreement with the Junta de Andalucía. The second Bearded Vulture named BelArosa is male and hatched in ASTERS in France. Both centres are important partners of the Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Network, coordinated by the VCF on behalf of EAZA’s EEP, which breeds the species for conservation purposes. This Network assigned the two vulture to this project according to their genetic background to help increase the still low genetic diversity of the Bearded Vulture population in the Alps. "

Thanks, Susanne! That's a truly adorable ornament.

I would be equally happy to draw the reader's attention to another news item published by the VCF two weeks earlier: https://www.4vultures.org/tinenca-de-be ... -vultures/

What matters to me so much in the Tinenca de Benifassa release of three Bearded Vultures is that alongside Durall and Dena, two BVs raised in the well-known Guadalentin breeding centre, a BV raised at Ostrava Zoo has been freed to the wild. There are many similar locations which, without the reputation of the renowned breeding centres and owing to the daily grind of hardworking professionals, keep contributing to the re-establishment of vulture populations across Europe (and beyond).

Last year, I was privileged to meet the person in charge of the programme from which Delilah (the 2021 Ostrava BV) emerged - you can hardly imagine a person more dedicated and passionate about the well-being of vultures. The work of such people does not tend to appreciated or celebrated too often, which is why I would like to give them the credit due here.

Here's a little flashback to 2018, when the Ostrava Zoo team contributed to the release of a female Cinereous Vulture in Bulgaria:


Supporting vulture reintroduction programmes may be easier than most people think. In the age of the pandemic, it will be needed more than ever.

Wild broods: more successful than ever!
Wild broods have never been so successful! Twenty-one young bearded vultures flew out to Switzerland this year alone. This is seven more than in the previous record year of 2017. New Graubünden breeding pairs have also contributed to this success. Tinizong and Martina broke for the first time.

An increase of 50 young vultures
Another twelve wild broods were successful in Italy, nine in France and two in Austria. The balance shows an increase of 44 young vultures hatched in the wild for the entire Alpine region. With the six young animals released into the wild (two in Switzerland, two in Germany and two in the French pre-Alps), 50 bearded vultures have joined the Alpine population this year.

We have to wait a little longer in Ticino. It is true that an attempt at breeding was registered for the first time this year >>. But unfortunately - as is often the case with inexperienced breeding pairs - the rearing of the young has not yet worked. We hope, however, that we will be able to report a successful Ticino brood for the first time next year.

GPS data available for Bearded Vultures Wally and Bavaria!

https://www.lbv.de/naturschutz/arten-sc ... bartgeier/

Google translation: https://www-lbv-de.translate.goog/natur ... tr_pto=nui

Quote: "After thousands of Bearded Vulture fans have followed in the past few months the events in the release niche live via webcam, the further life of the two birds can also be followed in the coming months and years. By equipping the Bearded Vulture with GPS transmitters, the future flight routes of the birds are shown on a map.

As is customary for all bearded vulture settlements across Europe, the data is entered there with a three-day delay for the safety of the birds. This is to prevent the birds from being disturbed by onlookers, for example at their sleeping places."
Bavaria has headed off to Austria (Schneeberg).

Edit: I am not sure about the pricing of the wildlife monitor site, so be careful. (I just can't find out whom they refer to as "user" - maybe the ornithologists who want their tracked birds on the map and have to pay for that service- or the user like you and I, just watching ....)

Bad news about Donna Elvira, the Bearded Vulture released in the Swiss Alps (the BV with the butterfly on her beak):

https://4vultures.org/blog/reintroduced ... wiss-alps/

Quote: "Unfortunately, the Bearded Vulture Donna Elvira reintroduced in the Swiss Alps collided with a cable transport and suffered severe injuries. Thanks to her GPS transmitter, she was rescued in time, but full recovery is still not guaranteed. (...) Following her rescue, Donna Elvira entered the Nature Reserve and Wildlife Park Goldau for rehabilitation. There, experts determined she collided with a transport cable and broke several bones. The exact circumstances that led to this incident are still under investigation.
(...)
Collisions: A problem for vulture conservation

The Vulture Multi-species Action Plan (Vulture MsAP), co-developed by the VCF and endorsed by the Convention for Migratory Species (CMS), concluded that electricity infrastructure, particularly electrocution and collision, are severe but under-estimated threats to vultures. Vultures are often unable to distinguish powerlines or cables against the background of the natural vegetation, causing mostly fatal collisions. The deaths from such threats are sadly underreported – in Spain, for example, only 10% of the mortality caused by collision with energy infrastructure is recorded. As with most human-caused mortalities, these incidents contribute to population declines of protected bird species like the Bearded Vulture, so it’s urgent to reduce and eliminate potential threats."

poma, thank you very much for the hint and info!
The released Donna Elvira is currently also in the zoo in Goldau. She was operated on here after her collision with a transport cable. It is not yet known whether she can be released back into the wild.
