    Good year for the Bearded vulture in Switserland.
    1991 was the start of the re-introduction programm in Switserland and in 2007 the first wild chick hatched. Now annualy 2 to 6 chicks are raised.
    2014 proofed even to be better and 8 wild young have been raised. Also 2 captive birds were re-introduced which makes the number of new birds 10 :)
