Thanks for the information. I visited the Berlin release program sites some time ago. Really nice project, saw them too on various occasions wonderfully impressive birds. The population is now thriving and divided in 3, which was not the case before. Around 350 birds now in Germany from a really all time low of 30-40 I think.
