Hi.
That's a very nice photo, congratulations!
The present breeding population of the species in Fuerteventura is more than 70 pairs, apart from a good number of non-breeding birds. Fortunately, its population is very clearly recovering from the 80s.
Best regards from the Canaries.

Thanks for the compliment Rubén, this bird was very cooperative though.
Great news about the rising numbers! Thanks for the info.

Hi again.
Thanks for your response.
The species is also breeding in increasing numbers on Lanzarote, Montaña Clara, and Alegranza. On a recent visit to Lanzarote, we met Egyptian vultures at least once every two days of fieldwork across the entire island's surface...
Best regards from the Canaries.
