| British wildlife expert Will Wagstaff was leading a team of observers when he suddenly discovered an Egyptian vulture - a rare bird that had not been seen in the UK for a long time. When he saw this animal, he was extremely happy because this was the type of bird known as the " divine bird ". |
 |
| Will Wagstaff said the Egyptian vulture stayed in the treetop for an hour and a half, then took off and soared over St. Mary's Island. |
 |
| It is worth mentioning that in the afternoon of the same day, a flock of seagulls nearby panicked. Experts speculated but did not dare to conclude whether the cause was due to Egyptian vultures or not. |
 |
| According to research, the Egyptian vulture, also known as the white vulture, is not only one of the few birds that can use tools when hunting (breaking eggs with stones), but it is also the only vulture species in Europe that can migrate long distances. |
 |
| With its excellent flying ability, the Egyptian vulture can fly up to 5,000 km. |
 |
| Thanks to this, they can migrate from Europe to the Sahara desert to winter. |
 |
| However, since the 20th century, the number of Egyptian vultures has declined sharply and is estimated to number only 12,000 in the world . |
 |
The last sighting of an Egyptian vulture in Britain was in 1868, when this Egyptian vulture was shot dead by a local farmer in Essex.
|
 |
| Just like that, after nearly 155 years, the Egyptian vulture was again seen in Britain. |
 |
| According to research, Egyptian vultures are also known as Pharaoh's chickens because they look like chickens with moldy scales. |
 |
| This is also a bird that is "deified" for its intelligence and is present in Egyptian hieroglyphics. |
