More broadly, this position lets you blend coordination, data integration, and hands-on behavioural work, while taking a central role in the new ManyBirds study.

You’ll also play a key role in our new EcoBird project on cognition, innovation, and invasiveness, with colleagues from @inbo.be, making this a fantastic opportunity for anyone excited about connecting cognitive research with real-world ecological and conservation challenges.

A huge thank you to Simeon Marin (Green Balkans; greenbalkans.org/en/) for being a fantastic host and guide throughout this inspiring trip. #VultureConservation #WildlifeReintroduction

We also visited several field sites to observe vultures in the wild, including two successful cinereous vulture nests, and were lucky to witness the opening of the local “vulture restaurant”. Over 60 griffon vultures, 10 cinereous vultures, a white-tailed eagle, and even a few golden jackals.

Just last week, one of the cinereous vultures born at Planckendael this spring was transferred to Bulgaria as part of the ongoing reintroduction programme. We visited the acclimatisation aviary to check in on our feathered friend — doing great and getting ready for release next spring.
