As the sightings of the African Rüppell’s Vulture continue to grow in Europe, especially in Iberia, we intend to monitor the situation by equipping individuals with GPS transmitters to help determine how long they stay in Europe and where they come from. A couple of weeks ago, we equipped the first Rüppell’s Vulture with a GPS transmitter in Portugal, and the bird named "Vouzela" has already left for Africa, making good progress south.
