Lappet-faced Vulture
Old 05-08-2008

I have just found out that Yorkshire Dales Falconry has a Lappet-faced Vulture! They also have Hooded and Ruppell's Griffons. They also free fly the Lappet ! How cool is that! Can't wait to visit. They say it is the only Lappet in the UK, but ISIS lists the International Centre for Birds of Prey in Herefordshire as having a single female.

Well it was the only one in the country on public display when the leaflet was printed,although the I.C.B of P isn`t open to the public yet this bird was in South Carolina when the leaflet was printed,there also may be a couple in private hands as well.

I think this company, which fly birds at Warwick castle, has at least one lappet-faced vulture, in fact 1.1 if their site is up to date:

Sounds like another case of not enough research before printing the leaflet,that and there are alot of strange things in private hands that we don`t know about unless you know the right people.

Talking to people and building up a trust between you and them,and respecting the fact that they may not want anybody knowing just what they have got.
