Eleven birds of prey will travel to Bulgaria to join breeding and release programmes in the country.
Five lesser kestrels, three griffon vultures, two Egyptian vultures and a saker falcon will leave the International Centre for Birds of Prey (ICBP) in Newent, Gloucestershire, in the coming weeks.
They will join breeding and release programmes with the organisation Green Balkans, which works to restore native species throughout Bulgaria.
The ICBP, which has been closed for almost seven months due to the coronavirus pandemic, has launched a fundraising appeal to fund the transport of the birds safely across Europe.
