I think maybe a chick's been born! There's something very small in the nest next to 'mummy' but I can't zoom in to get a good look. It's not moving much though so I could be seeing things

I see the web cam of the vultures has moved it's now facing a nest, so now baby storks and vultures to watch. Hopefully all will go well for them.

Lol, no competition in the attractiveness stakes!! Just watching her, or him, very funny, looks like a Disney cartoon character!!

Sorry, I know I should get a life, but its so funny looking at the vulture, it looks like she is looking for something, or waiting for a bus, either way it is very cute I have decided!

This report from the UH Nace un pollo de buitre leonado en la Fundació Voltor Negre de Campanet » Part Forana » Noticias » Ultima Hora Mallorca

Quote:
Born a chicken griffon vulture in the Foundation Voltor Negre de Campanet.

The per the Conservació of Voltor Negre (BVCF) on the estate Son Pons Campanet Foundation has welcomed the birth of a chicken griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus), copy to try to free a few months in the program of reintroduction into the wild in the collaboration of the entity. The evolution of the animal, born on Monday, is optimal and is now working towards their liberation, the foundation reported in a statement. The chicken griffon vulture is the first born in captivity at the center surviving after the birth of another breeding of the same parents in 2012. Breeding is a pair of vultures that inhabit Son Pons by their inability to live in freedom. The mother, 25, and father of 15, have physical injuries that prevent them from leading an independent life in the wild. The director of the BVCF, Juan José Sánchez, explained that the intention is to be sent to Bulgaria in about three months for release in the mountains of the Balkans, in the framework of the reintroduction of the species in which the Foundation collaborates with local authorities and the Bulgarian government in a Life Project of the European Union.
