I came across your website by chance and I got fascinated with your great wildlife photoes.
I see you have been in the Eastern Rhodopes with our colleague Dobri Domuschiev in January 2012 and you have managed to take excellent pictures of fighting Griffons: http://www.patrickdieudonne.com/blog_en/vultures-in-winter-in-the-rhodopes-bulgaria/

I am particularly interested in two of your pictures, which show Griffons with yellow PVC rings and tags (maybe K0M?).
I am managing a five-year vulture restoration project for reintroducing Griffons in the Balkan Mountains (http://www.greenbalkans.org/birdsofprey/life/) and this is one of the birds we have tagged and released (probably as early as October 2010, if I am reading the tag right).

We knew this bird is regularly present in the area of the Eastern Rhodopes but we are collecting information about all the observations. Could you please tell me the exact dates and location and maybe the number of the tag?

I can send you additional information on that bird if you would be interested.
Thanks a lot in advance,

Wishing you happy holidays and many successful trips and adventures!
