Antonio Monteiro from Instituto da Conserva\u00e7\u00e3o da Natureza e das Florestas responded immediately with two rangers from the Parque Natural de Arribes del Duero and travelled to the last location and managed to find the transmitter beneath some trees after a thorough search.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1558714832.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>The state of the harness suggested that it had become detached and death or injury of the bird was thankfully not suspected. However, it was important that Douro&#8217;s nest site was visited as soon as possible to confirm if the nest was still active, as absence of an adult bird might have indicated that Douro was dead or injured, requiring further investigation of the last recorded locations in case of a poisoning incident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Found alive and well\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1558713357.jpg\" alt=\"Egyptian Vulture Douro on the nest incubating their clutch (c) Isidoro Carbonell\" \/><figcaption>Egyptian Vulture Douro on the nest incubating their clutch (c) Isidoro Carbonell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Isidoro Carbonell, an ecologist responsible for monitoring nests of Egyptian Vultures and other species in sections of the Parque Natural de Arribes del Duero and surrounding areas, checked the nest soon after being notified of the lost transmitter and observed and photographed Douro alive and well incubating on the nest (identifiable from the coded leg ring).<\/p>\n<p>This was a relief and provided a great example of cross-border communication and collaboration among project partners to closely monitor the tracked vultures to enable swift and targeted responses to potential injuries or deaths of vultures. In the case of active poisoning events this would enable the recovery and treatment of poisoned vultures, the prevention of more animals being poisoned, and ultimately lead to effective investigation of the poisoning incident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Douro\u2019s insight into the behaviour of Europe\u2019s migratory vulture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although it is unfortunate that Douro lost the transmitter, we have acquired some very useful data over the last two years and have identified Douro\u2019s most intensively used areas in the summer and winter ranges.<\/p>\n<p>Maps showing\u00a0Douro&#8217;s winter range in sub-Saharan Africa and summer range in the\u00a0Douro Canyon<\/p>\n<p>Douro used the same nest site in the south-east of the Parque Natural de Arribes del Duero over the last three breeding seasons, and revisited a few favoured foraging locations on a regular basis, particularly on grazing pasture and close to livestock manure heaps near the village of Hinojosa de Duero.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1558714908.jpg\" alt=\"Manure heaps near the village of Hinojosa de Duero\" \/><figcaption>Manure heaps near the village of Hinojosa de Duero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Douro also regularly travelled eastwards up to 45 km from the nest site to forage on farms in Salamanca province which is well known for its livestock farming industry and dehesa agroforestry system which provides important habitats for many threatened species.<\/p>\n<p>The bird also visited sites where anthropogenic food sources were regularly deposited, including one of the supplementary feeding sites established and managed by LIFE Rupis project partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atnatureza.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Transum\u00e2ncia e Natureza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After completing the 3000 km migration to the Sahel, Douro spent the winter period in the savannah habitats either side of the Mauritania-Mali border, using similar areas during consecutive years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch in less than a minute the\u00a0travels of Douro in the past two years<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/vultureconservationfoundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Video<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We hope that Douro breeds successfully this year and continues to migrate as expected and returns to the same nest site again, with the colour-coded leg ring (code 96C) enabling monitoring by the field team in subsequent years.<\/p>\n<p>We thank all of the LIFE Rupis project partners and everyone else working towards vulture conservation in the Douro\/Duero region, particularly those who responded so quickly and effectively to recover the transmitter.
