A good news story (for a change!)
Yesterday, during the storm, some residents found a bird sheltering on the terrace of their home and alerted the Local Police.
The bird, which appears to be a Egyptian vulture, was collected by the police, who subsequently contacted the wildlife recovery services of the Regional Ministry of Environment. They are expected to collect it this morning for assessment and rehabilitation.
A small rescue story in the midst of a day marked by strong winds, fallen branches, some tree damage and other minor incidents, but thankfully without any major damage.
The yellow plastic band with the code “C41” on its leg indicates that this bird is part of an active wildlife monitoring or conservation project. Researchers tag these endangered birds as nestlings or during rehabilitation to track their migration routes, survival rates, and behavioral patterns. ( Source – Youtube)
