Although these birds may encounter multiple threats, and as a result some will be killed, their chance of survival increases with age and many survive to become breeding adults.

Although the bird travelled south from Cambridgeshire on Sunday, and was later seen in Bedfordshire, there is no way of predicting the bird&#8217;s next movements accurately. However, this is the second time that &#8220;Vigo&#8221; has given signs of a southwards journey and possible return to the Alps. The first time, the vulture left the Peak District in September after spending almost three months there and headed south, reaching Oxfordshire. Still, instead of crossing the English Channel and returning to the Alps, it made a northern turn and arrived in Norfolk before flying to the Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire fens. Bearded Vulture vagrancy of young individuals is normal, and typically birds return home after spending a few weeks or months in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/bearded-vulture-adonis-returned-to-the-grands-causses-and-paired-with-another-male\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unusual corners of Europe<\/a>. Will &#8220;Vigo&#8221; cross the English Channel this time or will it return to the north of the UK again? Let&#8217;s hope the vulture has a long future in the wild. To help improve its chances of survival, please share any observations to&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:ibm@4vultures.org\">ibm@4vultures.org<\/a>&nbsp;to monitor the vulture&#8217;s condition and state of health and act, if intervention is necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;It was a once in a lifetime chance to see the magnificent Bearded Vulture that spent the whole summer in the Peak District in England. It brought a lot of joy to the tens of thousands of people who saw it and attracted a lot of attention from across the whole of the UK. Many people really developed a strong bond to this bird, which has been so uplifting in these difficult times with the Covid19 pandemic. It has given everyone a glimpse of what a wilder future could look like if we help nature&#8217;s recovery where more amazing wildlife can be seen by more people particularly in our National Parks. Its presence in the Peak District also enabled a spotlight to be shone on the serious ongoing problems with illegal persecution of birds of prey within our National Parks,&#8221;&nbsp;<\/em>said Tim Birch, Director of Nature&#8217;s Recovery at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.derbyshirewildlifetrust.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Derbyshire Wildlife Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stay tuned with&nbsp;news about the&nbsp;Bearded Vulture in the UK&nbsp;by&nbsp;following the VCF on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/vultureconservationfoundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;e&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/4Vultures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can support Bearded Vulture and vulture conservation\u00a0in Europe\u00a0by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">donating to the VCF<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-3 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=\"1000\" height=\"349\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14669\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=14669\" class=\"wp-image-14669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300.png 1000w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-768x268.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"389\" height=\"129\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-1.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14670\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-1.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=14670\" class=\"wp-image-14670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-1.png 389w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577300-1-300x99.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-4 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=\"300\" height=\"75\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577315-1-300x75.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14671\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577315-1.png\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=14671\" class=\"wp-image-14671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577315-1-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/1602577315-1.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"118\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-24-300x118.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"14672\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-24.jpg\" data-link=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=14672\" class=\"wp-image-14672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-24-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-24-768x303.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-24.jpg 1013w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds if not thousands of people have been speculating about the origin and\u00a0sex of the Bearded Vulture, nicknamed &#8220;Vigo&#8221;, that has been touring the UK for the past few months.
