A second count of vultures at carcasses in Uganda, and a revised proposal for a standardised method.

The article discusses counts of vulture carcasses in Uganda and a revised proposal for a monitoring protocol. It says that a note by Pomeroy and colleagues reveal that 319 vultures came to goat carcasses at various sites in Uganda in 2003 which were adopted in 2005 since there were no breeding colonies of the said animal in the country, although Bramford and colleagues described in 2009 that there seems to be potential suitable sites. Moreover, counts in 2009 were in four savanna parks with one cow per site unlike in 2003 wherein site used had two sites each with two goat carcasses. It also mentions comparable results in 2003 were similar in 2009 although there were differences in methods used. It suggests that cows are more suitable as bait and more vultures would have counted.
