We are sad to report yet another mass poisoning. On 16 September, the Vultures Back to LIFE team came across a mass poisoning incident in Northwest Bulgaria. The team detected the case very early, thanks to the GPS transmitters on Griffon Vultures, and reacted duly. They have found and retrieved the poisoned bait, which was an entire carcass of a calf.
So far, they discovered the dead bodies of five Griffon Vultures and a Golden eagle. This time, it was near Vrachanski Balkan Nature Park, 20 km out of the Park at the traditional roosting and breeding sites of the Griffon Vultures.
