Bearded Vulture / Lammergeier at Crowden, Longdendale Valley, Derbyshire on 6th August 2020.

The first summer / second calendar year immature (presumed female) Bearded Vulture (also known as Lammergeier), Gypatus barbatus, filmed along the valley north of Crowden in the Longdendale area of Derbyshire on 6th August 2020. It has been in the Peak District area since early July.
This individual is a vagrant that is assumed to have been raised last year in the Alps as part of the re-introduction programme taking place there. The video shows the bird resting on crags and in flight, initially in poor weather.

@@GregBaker57 very good, looking forward.

We need more interesting birds of prey in this country. What a sight to see. Anyone know if it's been seen recently?

[@joshuasollitt4558]

No. It flew back to the continent last year and hasn't returned since. With the reintroductions continuing on the continent they may become more regular visitors in the future.

Shame it didn’t stay here. It’s now in East Anglia. Rather it go back to the Alps or the Pyrenees but at least the Peak District was similar-ish habitat

[@tommichie5402]

Glad it buggered off. Would’ve eventually been shot by a bastard grouse keeper up in Yorkshire, miracle it survived as long as it did.
