A unique pattern of their feathers was also bleached so field teams can identify them in flight after they fledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting the site ready<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the weeks before the release, conservation teams prepared the hacking site. The artificial nest from last year&#8217;s release was repaired and a new observation hide was built nearby, allowing the team to monitor the birds without disturbing them. The site was set up with nesting materials, sheltered perches and feeding and water stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hacking method, commonly used in raptor conservation, lets birds bred in captivity slowly get used to wild conditions while still being fed and looked after by experienced staff without human contact. The two vultures will stay in the nest and be observed from a distance until they take their first flights over the cliffs and forests of Sinite Kamani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wish Nadezhda and Sliven a strong start in the wild. One more release is planned in Bulgaria this year: a Bearded Vulture expected in late June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Bearded Vulture LIFE project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"520\" src=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41125\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.2000360587758045;width:555px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image.png 624w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/4vultures.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-14x12.png 14w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/vultureslife.fwff.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bearded Vulture LIFE<\/a>\u201d project is a comprehensive initiative, aiming to restore the Bearded Vulture and Cinereous Vulture across Bulgaria and the Balkans. With a budget of \u20ac5.17 million, co-funded by the European Union\u2019s LIFE Programme, the project commenced in August 2023 and is expected to continue until 2030. Building upon the achievements of its predecessor, \u201cVultures Back to Life,\u201d it is coordinated by Green Balkans, with five more partner organizations within Bulgaria, including the Fund for Wild Flora and Fauna, Foundation EkoObshtnost, EVN \u2013 Elektropradelenie Yug EAD, Severozapadno Darzhavno Predpriyatie \u2013 Vratsa, and \u201cSinite kamani\u201d Nature Park Directorate.
