Celebrating International Vulture Awareness Day with Kane Colston
3 September 2024
This year International Vulture Awareness Day is taking place on the 7th September. Perhaps best known for their scavenging, these birds are often overlooked. When you start to dig a bit deeper, however, vultures are truly amazing creatures. Did you know, for instance, that vultures are able to soar on thermal air currents for up to 5 hours without flapping their wings, meaning they can conserve energy as they search for food? Or that vultures can spot a carcass from as far as 5 miles away whilst flying in the sky?
