Of the two fledglings, Diwa is still under observation and has yet to fledge. Meanwhile, D\u00f4m, the other young vulture, hatched in the wild to a reintroduced female named<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/how-life-gypconnect-is-reintroducing-the-bearded-vulture-to-baronnies\/\"> Pamela (released in 2019 in the Baronnies)<\/a>, took his first flight on June 27 from the cliffs of Archiane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>D\u00f4m&#8217;s flight marked a hopeful milestone for the long-term sustainability of the population in the Vercors Massif. However, nature remains unpredictable and often unforgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tragic loss: D\u00f4m\u2019s story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just three weeks after his first flight, D\u00f4m was found dead on July 19. Initial findings from the autopsy indicate no signs of lead poisoning or shooting\u2014common causes of mortality in vultures\u2014but multiple fractures consistent with a fatal fall. While the final toxicological results are pending, it is believed that violent and unstable weather conditions may have led to his tragic death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The veterinary team at CNITV swiftly conducted X-rays and an autopsy the same day D\u00f4m was found. Their work is helping us better understand the challenges these young birds face during their critical early weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiral and Troubadour take flight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the sorrow of losing D\u00f4m, the reintroduction efforts on Vercors continue also with positive news. In June 2025,<a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/blog\/two-bearded-vultures-released-in-vercors-france\/\"> two young Bearded Vultures\u2014<strong>Spiral<\/strong> e <strong>Troubadour<\/strong>\u2014were released in the Vercors<\/a>. Both of them have now taken flight and are showing encouraging signs of independence, regularly finding food and improving their flying skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" data-id=\"40519\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n-1024x719.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n-1024x719.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n-768x539.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525960280_1205894528243953_2671714509026750929_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"40520\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/525864878_1205894508243955_6941054996467560951_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" data-id=\"40517\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n-1024x674.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526269940_1205894438243962_5566280649644172009_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"649\" data-id=\"40518\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n-1024x649.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n-1024x649.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/526245215_1205894424910630_7810095806347696362_n.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos by Alain Herrault<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A collective effort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Between 2010 and 2024, 21 Bearded Vultures have been released in the Vercors.
