Griffon vulture in the Drôme provençale, France

            Gyps fulvus

Following a decline in the 20th century as a result of wildlife poisoning, hunting and decreasing of food supplies, in recent years the species has increased dramatically in some areas, particularly in Spain, France and Portugal with the population in western Europe now numbering around 30,000 breeding pairs, 25,000 of which are found on the Iberian Peninsula. The eastern population of Griffon Vultures in Europe numbers around 600 pairs.
