opmerkingen photographed (Dutch Birding 26: 308, plate 447-448, 2004; @ identification accepted). This bird was generally considered an escape at the time, and therefore never submitted (cf Ebels 2004). 15 years on, in the light of the increasing number of crossings from Africa to (mainly) Spain and Italy, it finally was. In Spain the species has increased to such an extent that it is no longer reviewed by the Spanish rarities committee since 2016 (Gil-Velasco et al 2017). The submission of the Dutch sighting, however, also included an email correspondence with the presumed former owner of the bird, which confirmed that at the time one of his birds had escaped after an unknown party damaged its cage. As a consequence, the unsurprising outcome was that the committee regarded this bird not to be a wild vagrant. Assuming their wandering behaviour shows similarities to Griffon Vulture G fulvus, the committee expects a potential true vagrant to be probably showing up later in the season, preferably in a flock of dispersing Griffons and, as in Griffon, an immature would be expected rather than an adult.
