A couple of weeks ago, the juvenile Bearded Vulture Eglazine left her “home” heading north, and we have all the details of her adventures thanks to the GPS tag on her back and the field checks coordinated by our President. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2020, Eglazine hatched in Parco Natura Viva, which is part of the Bearded Vulture Captive Breeding Network, coordinated by us at the Vulture Conservation Foundation (VCF) on behalf of EAZA’s EEP. Captive-bred Bearded Vulture chicks have a very important purpose \u2014 they support reintroduction and restocking efforts across Europe. Eglazine is no different. Around three months after hatching, she grew strong and healthy, and it was time for her new life in the wild. Her destination was the Grands Causses. Upon arrival, the local LIFE GypConnect team received the female vulture and equipped her with an identification ring and a GPS transmitter, allowing us to keep track of her behaviour and movements. In June 2020, the team placed Eglazine into the hacking platform, where she got familiar with her new environment, preparing her to take her first flight and venture into the mountains. Her release supported the project’s goals to establish a breeding population of the species in the Massif Central and the Pre-Alps through reintroduction and promoting dispersal movements between the Alps and the Pyrenean population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crossing France and reaching the Netherlands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks ago, nearly one year after her release, Eglazine left the Grands Causses. At first, she followed a northwest direction and found herself in the heart of Paris, flying between the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe. Eventually, she arrived near Le Havre on the Channel Coast. On 19 April, she entered Belgium. And she did not stop there. Instead, she continued her journey north and reached the Netherlands. After briefly touring Zeeland-Flanders, she turned around at the Land of Saeftinghe and ultimately landed in a forest in Sint-Gillis-Waas, returning to Belgium \u2014 all in one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
