Spanish born Black Vulture shot and killed in Hungary by suspected poachers.

[clive Grazalema]

Sad news to hear that the  black vulture that was rescued and rehabilitated in Spain after being hit by a car has been shot in Hungary by Poachers.

The bird named “Ichera” fledged in Spain in 2019 and got hit by a car in the same year. The bird was rescued and cured by local professionals and transported to Bulgaria in 2020 in the framework of the reintroduction programme, where it was released after half a year of rewilding in March 2021. After the release, the bird was flying long distances: 1 month in Bulgaria and then turning north to Serbia and Romania and finally arriving at East-Hungary, Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, where it disappeared.
