Griffon vulture eats dead deer, video

In July 2012, a griffon vulture from southern Europe visited the Sint Pietersberg mountain near Maastricht, a border area of Belgium and the Netherlands.

First, there the bird ate a boar which had been killed by traffic.

As the video here shows, after that, the griffon vulture ate a roe buck, also a road victim.

On 29 July, the vulture left the Sint Pietersberg mountain.
