Caught Vultures in Iraq, no proof that they are from Serbia

11/01/2018 by admin

Today, our friend Mr. Omar Al-Sheikhly from Iraq, sent information that he has data about the more then 14 Griffon Vultures which are caught (see photos below) in Iraq. According to that information, none of them has any markings, so their origin can not be known. They are all young, which means that they were caught during the migration through Iraq.

We know that a significant number of Griffon Vultures from Serbia fly to the Middle East. Every year, we mark around 10% of total number Vultures which are hatched in Serbia (more about that… »). Since many of them are seen in the Middle East, it is clear that the number of our birds in that area is significant. Unfortunately, if they are not marked, we can not prove that.

So far, we have no information that some of our birds are caught. Omar will let us know if he find any Vulture from Serbia, so we will be able to intervene and inform our state authorities, embassy, international organizations, etc. Only if we are sure that the bird is from Serbia we can do something. And that is one more reason why marking is so important.

Piroćanac did not make it :-(

10/13/2018 by admin

He was hatched in the Belgrade’s Zoo garden and we wanted to give him the chance to be free. It was planned to be one of the first Griffon Vultures released on Stara Planina in 2016, in the program of returning the Vultures on this mountain. That is why he got name Piroćanac. The program was not then supported by the state administration, and Piroćanac remained in the zoo for two years. At the beginning of June 2018, during the organization of the program of satellite tracking and monitoring, the transfer of Piroćanac to Uvac was stopped due to unreasonable administrative requirements. With the support of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the bird got the necessary documents and he was transferred to Uvac with a big delay in the middle of August. We equipped him with a satellite transmitter and released on the Uvac, along with two other Zlatar and Marija mts, on the 1.9.2018. ( GPS tracking … » ), where are the best conditions for him to integrate with other Vultures. There was no point in postponing the release, because the other two birds from the cages were ready, so the Piroccanac would remain alone in the cage. There was also a winter period coming, when Vultures are under pressure to survive. Unfortunately, there was not enough time to adjust and integrate with the other two birds in cage. By satellite tracking and video surveillance on the feed place, we saw that he did not integrate into a flock of Vultures and we wanted to get him back to the cage. The Rangers of the Uvac Reserve were doing their best, but the Pirocanac was elusive. At one point he went to Mileševka and Pašter, which gave us hope that he would succeed. The Vultures from Uvac often visit because there are plenty of cattle and potential food.

When the Rangers found him, he was exhausted, and according to the procedure, he was immediately taken by the veterinarian, who found that the bird was good, that he needed ti eat, and that he would recover quickly, so he was returned to the cage. The bird was not hospitalized at that time and in such a bad condition he was returned to the cage of the Uvac Reserve. Unfortunately, this was obviously not a good estimate. The Piroćanac died in the Center at Uvac, although he accepted some food.

This is the third case that a Vultures are dead in this way. We hope that this bad experience will help to resolve the issue of veterinarians and hospitalization of endangered bird species, so that these unnecessary losses will not occur again.

Zlatar and Maria mts behave well. They are moving and visiting the territory. They were recorded several times in the feeding place by satellite tracking, as well as video surveillance. Satellite tracking he discovered the new potential site for nesting Vultures that we will soon visit. We wish them luck in the coming winter period.

Piroćanac on the Pešter, Zlatar and Marija mts still on the Uvac…

10/06/2018 by admin

For several days, our Griffon Vulture “Piroćanac” is located on Pešter. He went to Mileševka, crossed the top of Jadovnik (1740 meters), the mountain of Giljev and settle down on Pešter. Since the vultures are social birds and he was never in that area, he probably followed other vultures and is not alone. There are plenty of domestic animals in this area, so we hope that there is enough food.

Piroćanac, 05.10.2018.

“Zlatar” and “Marija mts” generally moving around feeding place Rastoke at Uvac, where they spend the most time. However, last night Zlatar stayed in the “Pavlovića brod”, while “Marija mts” spent the night near the viewpoint “Molitva”.
