Didn’t even knew we had indigenous vultures to begin with
The will get shot soon. IJS
We used to have a lot but they were relying on dead animals from farms to flourish. People would throw or leave them. You could find bones everywhere you hiked from sheep goats and even cows. But the European legislation forbade the abandoning of carcasses in the wild for “hygiene” reasons. This with also the fact that most livestock was moved to facilities and abandoning the grazing old ways led almost to the extinction of the Cypriot vulture gipaetos and the fox.
