EN:<\/b> A tragic end for Dryan<\/span> \n \nWe all followed with anxious anticipation the rescue of the Cinereous vulture<\/strong>, Dryan<\/strong>, who at the beginning of July 2025 ventured into a dense reedbed in the Danube Delta<\/strong>. It took the effort of several people to <\/span>save the bird<\/span><\/a>, which was part of the Bearded Vulture LIFE<\/strong><\/a> programme.<\/span><\/p>

Once recovered from that area, Dryan regained his strength in a short time and we were able to <\/strong><\/span>release him<\/a><\/strong> near the M\u0103cin Mountains (Tulcea County)<\/strong>. The very next day, Dryan had already crossed our country\u2019s border and continued his journey through south-east Europe.<\/span><\/p>

About two weeks after his release, a cattle farmer from Ethymos (Greece) contacted the Society for the Protection of Biodiversity of Thrace (SPBT) about a weakened and injured Cinereous vulture<\/strong>. An SPBT team of specialists immediately rushed to the site and transferred the bird to the OFYPEKA facility in Dadia<\/strong> to provide Dryan with first aid. Unfortunately, despite the rapid response, the vulture died only a few hours later.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

An initial examination of the bird\u2019s injuries \u2013 including a stretched leg and burns on its abdomen and wings \u2013 suggests that it had most likely come into contact with power lines<\/strong>. Data from the transmitter and the field investigation also indicate that the incident probably occurred in Bulgaria, where Dryan had been flying the previous day.<\/span><\/p>

This tragic event highlights one of the greatest dangers<\/strong> faced by birds of prey: electrocution<\/strong> and collisions with power lines<\/strong> remain a serious threat<\/strong> to vultures and other large raptors across the region.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EN: A tragic end for Dryan We all followed with anxious anticipation the rescue of the Cinereous vulture, Dryan, who at the beginning of July 2025 ventured into a dense reedbed in the Danube Delta.
