Category of conservation concern (IUCN, 2020) – Least Concern Population size: 2020: 124 – 125 pairs (2007: 70 – 100 pairs) Distribution pattern The autochthonous population breeds only in the Eastern Rhodopes, along the valley of the Arda River between the outflow of the Varbitsa River and the western end of the Ivaylovgrad Dam. In recent years, thanks to reintroduction programmes, the species is found in the Eastern Stara Planina, Sliven District, Western Stara Planina, and the Kresna Gorge. Wandering specimens, singly and less frequently in pairs or small groups, can be observed in other parts of the country. Population estimation for the period 2013 – 2020: During the period 2013-2020, the species was established in 11 squares. In some of these squares, especially in the reintroduction sites, the exact number and distribution is difficult to be determined. New sites have been established in Southern Bulgaria, mainly between the main rock formations along the Arda River, and in Northern Bulgaria – in the Vratsa Balkans. The number of the species in the Kresna Gorge has decreased significantly due to poisoning of the colony in the spring of 2017. Population size in Special Protection Areas of Natura 2000: 124 -125 pairs (100% of the population). The highest numbers have been registered in the Special Protection Areas \u201cStuden Kladenets\u201d (59 pairs) and \u201cMadzharovo\u201d (33 pairs).<\/p>\n
