Griffon Vulture Nest at Gamla Reserve

A Cliffside Vulture Nest

This camera is trained on a Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus) nest set among the dramatic basalt cliffs of Gamla Nature Reserve. Viewers can watch the enormous birds — with wingspans approaching three metres — incubate their single egg and raise their growing chick over the long breeding season.

Gamla Nature Reserve

Located in the Golan Heights, Gamla is celebrated for its ancient ruins, plunging waterfall and thriving colony of raptors. The reserve's sheer cliffs provide ideal nesting ledges, making it a cornerstone of vulture conservation in the region.

Conservation in Action

The feed is run in partnership with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and The Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology, supporting efforts to monitor and protect a species that has become increasingly rare across much of its range.

What You Will See

Expect intimate behaviour: adults arriving to relieve their mate, careful feeding of the chick, and the commanding presence of these scavengers that play a vital role in the local ecosystem.
