But the reports suggest vultures continue to be unintended victims of this senseless practice right across the country. The tragic reports of death of vultures in Greece we publish today follow on from the death in February of the <a href=\"https:\/\/4vultures.org\/pt\/2019\/02\/27\/cinereous-vulture-ostrava-found-dead-in-greece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reintroduced Bulgarian Cinereous Vulture Ostrava<\/a> in the south of the country.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4vultures.dev.reformat.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1554709224.jpg\" alt=\"Golden Eagle being fitted two days before it was discovered poisoned to death (c) Lavrentis Sidiropoulos.\" \/><figcaption>Golden Eagle being fitted two days before it was discovered poisoned to death (c) Lavrentis Sidiropoulos.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the beginning of February\u00a0 a dead young Cinereous Vulture was found in the Dadia-Lefkimis -Soufliou Forest National Park , and just a few days later a Golden Eagle fitted with a GPS transmitter was also discovered dead. Just like Ostrava and the second Cinereous Vulture, the GPS transmitted fitted to the bird, just two days earlier, helped locate the corpse, which was found near animal remains tied to a tree\u00a0 with cyanide capsules, which would strongly suggest the bird was poisoned, although the team await the results of the toxicological analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tragic impact on the Greek Cinereous Vulture population<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most recent poisoning incident occurred at the end of March: two Cinereous Vultures and two Crows were found dead in the Valley of Philiouri. Both vultures were ringed and were able to be identified, one was over 15 years old, and the other five. This is a significant loss\u00a0 for the breeding population of the species in the area, the last remnant colony of cinereous vultures in all the Balkans.<\/p>\n<figure><a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/vcf.dev.reformat.co\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1554709365.jpg\" alt=\"Ela Cret with the WWF Greece anti-poisoning canine unit with the remains of a Cinereous Vulture (c) WWF Greece\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Ela Cret with the WWF Greece anti-poisoning canine unit with the remains of a Cinereous Vulture (c) WWF Greece<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Ella Cret , who manages the WWF Greece anti-poisoning dog unit pointed out that:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;The frequency of cases of unlawful use of poisoned baits is extremely worrying and calls for an immediate response from the authorities responsible for finding guilty persons and informing them citizens. &#8220;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vultures know no borders<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During a recent visit to Griffon Vulture nests in Thracian Meteora a team from WWF Greece discovered also a dead Griffon Vulture along with a Fox and Raven, next to the remains of a horse.
