After his migration ended on 22 November 2021, he seemed to settle in the area but is still moving around. He was flying around 3500 km in 30 days since arriving. He mainly stayed in Senegal, with some time spent also in The Gambia. Maybe that is where he is from? As the exact origin is still unknown, we can only guess this so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Africa\u2019s R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture becoming a common sight in Europe<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>La&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/europes-5th-vulture-species\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture<\/a>&nbsp;(<em>Gyps rueppelli<\/em>) is an African species whose distribution range is located in the equatorial and eastern areas of the continent. It resembles our&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/vultures\/griffon-vulture\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Griffon Vulture<\/a>&nbsp;(<em>Gyps fulvus<\/em>), especially the juvenile and immature birds, being slightly smaller in size. The IUCN\u2019s Red List of Threatened Species considers the R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture Critically Endangered, which is the last category before global extinction. Its declining state is mostly due to the successive and frequent mass poisonings in Africa, which are driving several species of African vultures to extinction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures are becoming alarmingly scarce in Africa, surprisingly, they are increasingly seen in Europe. This is probably due to increased mixings of individuals of this species with wintering juvenile Griffon Vultures in West Africa. A percentage of Europe\u2019s growing population of Griffon Vultures winters in the Sahel zone of West Africa, where birds encounter some R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures. When European Griffons start their migration north, they probably drag some African vultures with them, and with plenty of food in Europe, they are beginning to call our continent home.&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/europes-5th-vulture-species\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The species was also added to Andaluc\u00eda\u2019s list of vultures<\/a>, making it Europe\u2019s 5th vulture species and one of the most threatened bird species in Spain. Furthermore, in 2020, it was confirmed for the first time that&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/es\/blog\/an-unlikely-pairing-ruppells-vulture-breeding-with-griffon-vulture-in-spain\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">two different adult R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vultures have been regarded as showing breeding behaviour in Griffon Vulture colonies<\/a>&nbsp;in C\u00e1diz and M\u00e1laga respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"138\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/VCF.LOGO_.Green_-394x138-1.png\" alt=\"VULTURE CONSERVATION FOUNDATION VCF LOGO\" data-id=\"4267\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/VCF.LOGO_.Green_-394x138-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/our-work\/reintroduction-and-restocking\/bearded-vulture-to-massif-central-pre-alps\/vcf-logo_-green_-394x138\/\" class=\"wp-image-4267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/VCF.LOGO_.Green_-394x138-1.png 394w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/VCF.LOGO_.Green_-394x138-1-300x105.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"394\" height=\"233\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/mava-logo-394x233-1.png\" alt=\"mava foundation logo\" data-id=\"4262\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/mava-logo-394x233-1.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/our-work\/reintroduction-and-restocking\/bearded-vulture-to-massif-central-pre-alps\/mava-logo-394x233\/\" class=\"wp-image-4262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/mava-logo-394x233-1.png 394w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/mava-logo-394x233-1-300x177.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 394px) 100vw, 394px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We last shared an update on the R\u00fcppell\u2019s Vulture named Vouzela that travelled from Europe to Africa back in November.
