Ahead of her release, LPO Grands Causses fitted her with identification rings and bleached a unique set of feathers to recognise her in the field. They also equipped a GPS transmitter on her back to monitor her movements and behaviour remotely. The team then proceeded to released the young vulture using the \u2018hacking method\u2019, which is more or less the natural way of fledging, placing Pradines in the same reintroduction site as the previous birds of this year, in the \u2018Gorges du Tr\u00e9vezel\u2019 in Aveyron.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gypae\u0300te bearded vulture reintroduction pradines\" data-id=\"19051\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=19051\" class=\"wp-image-19051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gypae\u0300te bearded vulture reintroduction pradines\" data-id=\"19052\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=19052\" class=\"wp-image-19052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines--2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Gypae\u0300te bearded vulture reintroduction pradines\" data-id=\"19053\" data-full-url=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--scaled.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/?attachment_id=19053\" class=\"wp-image-19053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Gypae\u0300te-bearded-vulture-reintroduction-pradines.--2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Releasing Pradines in the Grands Causses \u00a9 Puy du Fou<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This method involves releasing captive-bred nestlings at artificial nests in suitable habitats, enabling vultures to acclimatise to the natural environment before they fledge. With this technique, the nestlings can associate the place where they are released with the area of hatching so that when they reach breeding age, which is around 8-10 years old, they select these places to breed. For the first few months after the release, an attentive team from LIFE GypConnect also closely monitors the new inhabitants and their daily progress to help ensure their wellbeing. And last Thursday, after much training, Pradines took her flight into freedom and is doing well!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>LIFE GypConnect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/lifegypconnect-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11139\" width=\"360\" height=\"256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/lifegypconnect-logo.jpg 427w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/lifegypconnect-logo-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Led by the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lpo.fr\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">League pour la Protection des Oiseaux (LPO)<\/a>, the&nbsp;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/projects\/life-gypconnect\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LIFE GypConnect<\/a>&nbsp;project aims to establish a breeding population of Bearded Vultures in the Massif Central and Department of the Dr\u00f4me.
