International Vulture Day was established in 2008 in New York to draw public attention to the importance of protecting the most endangered group of animals in the world, which has an irreplaceable role in nature. The day on which this event will be marked is determined every first Saturday in September.

The Birds of Prey Protection Foundation has traditionally marked this event for 12 years, in cooperation with many organizations and in the presence of our members and friends. We organize various special events such as: international conferences, exhibitions, lectures, the release of vultures into the wild, a visit to the colonies of Griffon Vultures …

Ognjenka started the spring migration!

by

On the 1.5.2021. the Ognjenka female Short-Toed Eagle, who is in the program of our satellite telemetry has started the spring migration. She left Chad, flew to Sudan and Egypt. In 5 days, she flew to the Nile River and we assume that will continue to move along the river to the north.

Since this is a young bird that is still sexually immature and does not have a strong urge to return to the area where she hatched, we do not know what decisions she will make next. We continue to follow her on her uncertain path.

Three months of wintering in Ognjenka in Africa

by

We still follow our Ognjenka, a young female Short toed Eagle in Africa, every day. It has been three months since she “wintered” in Sudan and Chad.

25.01.2021. year, her current position is – Chad. In 92 days, she flew 4778 km or an average of 51.93 km/day. The highest recorded height of flight is 3343 m above sea level, but she has risen so high only a few times. Mostly all the time below 2000 m above sea level. The highest recorded flight speed is 101 km/h.
