the griffon vulture | documentary

Like other vultures, he is also a cleaner, feeding mainly on the carcasses of dead animals that he finds soaring above open surfaces, often moving in flocks. It establishes nesting colonies on cliffs that are not disturbed by humans, while the coverage of open areas and the availability of dead animals within tens of kilometers of these cliffs is high. It rumbles and hisses in shelters or when it feeds on carrion In Italy, the species has managed to survive only on the island of Sardinia, but several attempts have recently been made to reintroduce the griffon peninsula. As a result, several specimens were again observed in August 2006 in the Gran Sasso massif (central Italy). Italy's population is thought to be growing strongly, thanks to the entry into force of reintroduction schemes in neighboring countries and a ban on species hunting. In Croatia, a colony of griffon vultures can be found near the town of Beli on the island of Cres. There they breed on lower elevations, with some nests only 10 m (33 feet) above sea level. Therefore, contact with people is common. The population makes frequent incursions into Slovenian territory, especially in the Stol mountain above Kobarid. The bird is protected in an area called Kuntrep on the Croatian island of Krk In the British Isles, the first record of a griffon vulture occurred in 1843 in Cork. More recently, in 2000, a carnivore settled on Channel Island of Guernsey. In Cyprus, there is an unsustainable colony with less than 30 birds (2016) in Episkopi, in the south of the island. In Israel, griffon vulture colonies can be found in northern Israel and the Golan Heights, where large colonies breed in the Carmel Mountains, the Negev Desert, and especially in Gamla, where reintroduction projects are underway in Carmel and Negev farms. There are almost 1000 birds in Greece. Most of the griffon vulture population in Greece resides in Crete which hosts the largest island population of the species in the world. In Crete, they can be found in most mountainous areas, sometimes in groups of up to 20 years. [18] Griffon vultures have been successfully reintroduced into the Central Massif in France; there are now about 500. Griffon vultures are regularly spotted over the Millau Bridge, and since 2015 also in the Cantal Mountains. In Belgium and the Netherlands, about 100 birds were present in the summer of 2007. These are strays from the Pyrenees population (see below). In Germany, the species became extinct in the mid-18th century. Approximately 200 homeless people, probably from the Pyrenees, were seen in 2006, and several dozen homeless people seen in Belgium moved to Germany the following year in search of food. There are plans for the species to re-enter the Alps. In September 2008, pieces of griffon vulture bones, about 35,000 years old, believed to form a flute, were excavated from the Hohle Fels cave in southern Germany. In Serbia, there are about 60-65 pairs of griffon vultures in the western parts of the country, around the Zlatar mountain and also 35 birds in the canyon of the river Trešnjica. They are under legal protection from hunting. More about this source textSource text required for additional translation information Send feedback Side panels
