I spent an hour today in the hide at the vulture "restaurant" of my old friend and ex-colleague Kerry Wolter, director of Vulpro. Kerri runs a rehabilitation centre with over 200 captive birds, mostly vultures, and she was the first person to successfully breed the endangered Cape Vulture in captivity. Her vulture "restaurant" provides carcasses on a daily basis to wild birds breeding in the Magaliesberg, and it is thanks to her and three other "restaurants" that we now have a breeding population of almost 600 pairs of this species in Gauteng, the industrial hub of South Africa. These birds are entirely dependent on these "restaurants" and feed there on a daily basis. The light wasn't great, but a slight cloudiness helped to control he contrast.
Thanks for viewing!
