A massive shoutout to the incredible learners at 𝐁𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, who raised R9 500 for Vulpro through a coin drop fundraiser — all inspired by the value of 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯.

A coin drop is simple: learners bring whatever coins they can and drop them into a shared container. It’s proof that small change, when combined, creates 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦.

They’ve shown us that small acts, when united, can create a BIG impact — for our vultures, our planet, and our future. Because 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐚 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

Lesser Spotted Eagle (Clanga pomarina)
IUCN Status: Least Concern (LC)
Status in Egypt: Passage migrant (M)

Habitat & Migration Route: Breeds in summer across Eastern Europe, Asia Minor, and the Caucasus. Migrates south in winter to Eastern Africa, passing through the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and Egypt.

Presence in Egypt: A passage migrant observed primarily in the Red Sea mountains during spring and autumn migration.

Description & Identification: A smaller eagle with broad wings and six long primary feathers, while the seventh is shorter, giving it a distinct shape. Unlike the Greater Spotted Eagle, it has two white patches under the wings near the primaries. The underwing coloration shows a contrast between lighter brown at the top and darker brown at the bottom, with black spots on the belly in adult birds.

Diet: Feeds on reptiles, frogs, small mammals, and occasionally small birds such as partridges.

Threats: Habitat destruction, particularly the loss of breeding forests and open plains that support its prey. Conversion of these habitats into agricultural land, as well as the risk of collisions with high-voltage power lines and wind turbines, pose significant threats
