Movement of Luka in the Gorge of the river Trešnjica in the period 20-30.03.2020. years

The Griffon Vulture “Luka” is the first bird in a satellite telemetry program from a colony on the Trešnjica River!
Luka is a young male who hatched in the spring of 2019 in the northernmost colony of Griffon Vultures in Europe, the “Trešnjica River Gorge” Special Nature Reserve. He was found extinct near the Drina on the 27.10.2019. years. He was recovered and when the conditions for returning to the colony on Trešnjica were met, we tried to release him on the 7.3.2020. but on that rainy day, Luke did not want to take off.

However, on the 20.03.2020. Luka was again released near the Trešnjica feeding station and this time he took off. Now he is in the monitoring program and within the project of the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation: “Management of the Griffon Vultures Population (Gyps fulvus) in the Special Nature Reserves: “Trešnjica River Gorge” and “Uvac”, at the Ministry of the Environment’s 2019 competition to award funding to support civil society projects in the environmental field.

Here is his move 10 days after its release:
