A stubborn vulture delayed the plane's departure from Crete
In Heraklion, Greece, a vulture unexpectedly caused a delay on a Ryanair flight. The bird landed on the plane’s rear wing at Nikos Kazantzakis Airport and refused to leave.
Because of the unusual “passenger,” firefighters had to be called to the plane. They carefully approached the bird and safely removed it from the aircraft.
Afterward, the plane was able to resume its preparations for departure, and airport operations were restored.

A black vulture named Berlin, which had been released into the wild in Germany as part of a population restoration program, flew as far as the Kyiv region, where it was injured. The bird was rescued by Kyiv-based birdwatcher Ihor Samokhin.
