Jose Ramon Moragrega has developed a vulture sanctuary, where the threatened animals are served a feast of rabbits every day. But is his initiative too little too late?Hundreds of vultures surround retired sailor Jose Ramon Moragrega before noisily feasting on the mass of dead rabbits he dumps from a red wheelbarrow onto a patch of gravel.
Fuelled by a passion for the large birds, the 57-year-old has repeated this ritual each morning for the past two decades at his property near the town of Valderrobres in the mountains of Aragon in eastern Spain.
Picky eaters
Each day, "Vultureman," as he calls himself, feeds the predators between 100 and 200 rabbits not fit for human consumption that he gets for free at a local slaughterhouse.
It takes them only half an hour to devour the meal.
But his vulture refuge, complete with drinking trough and perches, did not always enjoy its current success. Now, 400 and 500 birds turn up for the feeding on a good day. At the beginning, however, they stayed away.
