Her behaviour looked promising since she started her migration northwards two months earlier than in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, Sara left Niger on 26 February 2022 and, after a journey of around 2,800 km, arrived in Sicily on 22 March. The next day she stopped in the centre of the island, in an area usually frequented by the species. As Sara seemed to want to stay close to a rocky cliff, CERM member Mimmo Bevacqua and his friend Andrea Cairone, who had been alerted and directed through the GPS data, investigated the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping a safe distance, Andrea clearly observed and recognized Sara, who sported a plumage that was almost completely coloured orange. That&#8217;s not all &#8211; Sara was in the company of a male! The two Egyptian Vultures exhibited unmistakable breeding behaviour near a rocky cliff, which suggests that the formation of the new pair had already taken place in Africa. On 2 April, Sara left and headed for the areas of Basilicata that she had frequented regularly in recent years. Most likely, the &#8216;original owners&#8217; of the Sicilian nesting area, who appeared after a few days, chased away the new &#8216;intruding&#8217; pair. The story continued in Basilicata, with Sara and her mate seen mating again in an area frequented by the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sara-and-her-mate-observed-during-migration-greatly-enlarged-photo.-767x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Confirmed for the first time in Europe: A captive-bred Egyptian Vulture forms a pair in the wild\" class=\"wp-image-23680\" width=\"316\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sara-and-her-mate-observed-during-migration-greatly-enlarged-photo.-767x1024.jpg 767w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sara-and-her-mate-observed-during-migration-greatly-enlarged-photo.-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sara-and-her-mate-observed-during-migration-greatly-enlarged-photo.-768x1026.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sara-and-her-mate-observed-during-migration-greatly-enlarged-photo..jpg 861w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 316px) 100vw, 316px\" \/><figcaption>Sara and her mate observed during migration \u00a9 Andrea Cairone<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This development marks a milestone.
