The discovery, mid-breeding season, made detailed monitoring impossible in order to avoid disturbing the birds. Collaboration to monitor the colony and implement other conservation efforts will be reinforced in 2025, under the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/life-aegypius-return\/\">projeto LIFE Aegypius Return<\/a> project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Herdade do Monte da Ribeira, a peaceful retreat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Herdade do Monte da Ribeira (HMR), an estate with around 1100 hectares, produces wine and olive oil, but also includes conservation areas that spread across the Mendro mountain range. These peaceful areas provide a calm refuge for many bird species, including threatened and protected species such as the Golden Eagle (<em>Aquila chrysaetos<\/em>) and the Cinereous Vulture. The large stone pines (<em>Pinus pinea<\/em>), scattered throughout the valleys, are a real invitation for Cinereous Vultures to nest. All the more so since the forest also guarantees food, with Red and Fallow Deer in abundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"416\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-1024x416.jpg\" alt=\"Areas of Herdade do Monte da Ribeira in Serra do Mendro. \u00a9VCF\" class=\"wp-image-39430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-1024x416.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-768x312.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-1536x624.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-2048x833.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/HMR-18x7.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Areas of Herdade do Monte da Ribeira in Serra do Mendro. \u00a9 VCF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Assessing the colony\u2019s true scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the discovery of the first nest \u2013 already home to a well-developed chick \u2013was followed by the detection of four others, though without clear evidence of reproduction. So, five nests are known, but only one breeding pair has been confirmed. The chick was tagged in July with a GPS\/GSM transmitter, which revealed that it began flying in early September. At the end of August, another fledgling was found near Vidigueira, though in a weakened state. This chick was rescued by the ICNF and taken to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CERASCB\/\">CERAS<\/a> (Center for the Study and Recovery of Wild Animals, in Castelo Branco) for rehabilitation. The discovery of this chick, so close to the HMR colony, raises the possibility of additional breeding pairs in the region. Being undoubtedly the newest and smallest Cinereous Vulture breeding colony in Portugal, it is crucial to study it further and monitor its development closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pousio, the faithful vulture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Tagging Pousio with a GPS\/GSM transmitter \u00a9LPN. \" class=\"wp-image-39432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio-LPN-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tagging Pousio with a GPS\/GSM transmitter \u00a9LPN. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only Cinereous Vulture chick confirmed in HMR&#8217;s colony in 2024 is a young male who has been named <em>Pousio<\/em>. Since taking flight, he has remained remarkably loyal to his territory, never venturing more than 20 km from the nest. The LIFE Aegypius Return team is closely monitoring this particular vulture due to the proximity of a high-voltage power line near the nest, posing a significant risk of collision-related mortality. This is yet another reason why it is crucial to monitor this colony with great care. In 2025, if more chicks are found, further tagging efforts will be undertaken to gather additional data on this new settlement area for the species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-1024x598.png\" alt=\"Map of Pousio\u2019s movements, from 03\/09\/2024 to 28\/01\/2025.\" class=\"wp-image-39431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-768x448.png 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-1536x896.png 1536w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-2048x1195.png 2048w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Pousio_28Jan2025_final-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Map of Pousio\u2019s movements, from 03\/09\/2024 to 28\/01\/2025.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joining forces to conserve the Cinereous Vulture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2025 breeding season, which has already begun, was carefully prepared with enhanced interinstitutional collaboration under the LIFE Aegypius Return project.
