From the start, Amic has shown remarkable loyalty to the release area in Tinen\u00e7a de Benifass\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"484\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/alos-and-amic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16655\" style=\"width:707px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/alos-and-amic.jpg 667w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/alos-and-amic-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Alos and Amic, the first captive-bred Bearded Vultures released released in 2018 in Maestrazgo <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A year later, in 2019, another male, Bassi, joined the project together. Much like Amic, he has remained closely tied to Tinen\u00e7a, only making brief exploratory trips before returning to the release site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First territorial pair to settle in Maestrazgo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amic and Bassi formed the first territorial pair to settle in Maestrazgo\u2014an important milestone that arrived earlier than expected for the project. Recent camera-trap footage by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gva.es\/\">Generalitat de Valencia<\/a> of Amic collecting wool offers a glimpse of the maturing vulture preparing its nest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Bearded Vulture Amic collecting wool for a nest\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tciFpjJlicI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Amic and Bassi currently form a male\u2013male pair, this is neither unusual nor an obstacle for the species\u2019 recovery. Bearded Vultures are known for flexible social structures that include, male\u2013male pairs, polyandrous trios and even quartets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As more individuals settle in Maestrazgo, it is expected that Amic and Bassi will eventually find female partners. Their current presence\u2014and their territorial behaviour\u2014is likely to attract new birds to the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Returning home to settle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After years of exploring the Iberian Peninsula\u2014especially regions close to Maestrazgo such as the Pyrenees\u2014both males have now returned to the cliffs where they learned to fly. This behaviour, known as philopatry, is the biological principle behind the hacking method. Birds released before they can fly imprint on the release site as their birthplace. Once they reach maturity, they return to defend a territory, search for a partner, and begin the process of breeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Bearded Vultures Amic and Bassi, November 2025\" class=\"wp-image-41063\" style=\"width:719px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Amic_y_Bassi_nov_20251.jpeg 1599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bearded Vultures Amic and Bassi, November 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This development provides two strong confirmations for the reintroduction effort: Maestrazgo offers suitable habitat for territorial, nest-building Bearded Vultures and the hacking release method is working as intended, with birds returning to the area where they were released as juveniles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the formation of this first pair has occurred sooner than in other comparable projects, where pair formation typically took around a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We look forward to seeing how the developments of Amic and Bassi continue!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bearded Vulture to Maestrazgo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Maestrazgo region of Valencia, Spain, was historically a breeding site for Bearded Vultures, today whilst there is no resident population of the species it is regularly visited by birds from the Andalucian population in southern Spain.
