Do members know how many of this species are left in the UK? Are all in flight displays or are any housed in breeding situations? A private falconry company in Yorkshire (they show at Warwick Castle most often) seem to hold two, and there may still be one flown at the Yorkshire Dales falconry centre.
I remember a pair in the raptor aviary in 1990 when it opened at London zoo, but they disappeared fairly soon. Windsor safari park had a tethered individual for flying displays; at one point they also mixed Lappet-faced vultures with the baboons and barbary sheep. I only know of the Cotswold Wildlife Park breeding this species.
