It's been a while since I have updated the blog on the Egyptian vulture we have been tracking. We passed a milestone since the last blog post in that the tagged bird has now been followed for more over a year, in which time we have collected almost 4000 locations. Below is a map of what it has been doing over that time. This bird was often at rubbish dumps and landfills at Al Multaqaa, Tahwa and Ibra, and often roosted at night in the Wadi Sareen Nature Reserve. During the days it often perched on the high voltage power pylons.

Since New Year, the vulture has been hanging out near the Tahwa Landfill that serves Sur. See the two images below. The second image shows that the vulture has been a regular visitor to the landfill.
