Only one Griffon Vulture stayed behind, an older adult bird, as its rehabilitation was not complete, and it had to spend some more months at the Rescue Centre before returning to the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to the feeding place on the top of the hill, the ten transportation boxes were aligned as the vultures peeped through the gaps. Two by two, they were brought forward and when the doors opened, the birds carefully stepped out. Some were quick to fly right away. Others stuck around for some minutes before taking off. But all of them hovered around for some time. Following their release, the GPS-tagged birds remained in Kvarner Bay for a while.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Adapted from the text written by BIOM&#8217;s ESC volunteers Estela Marques, Aida Martinez,
