Résumé :	The Bearded Vulture Gypaetus barbatus population in Corsica is geographically isolated since the overall decline of this species during the 20th century in Europe. The species has disappeared in the 1970s from Sardinia, an island close to Corsica. Nevertheless 12 birds were recorded between 1980 and 2014 in Sardinia. Age of birds, observation dates and changing status of the species in Europe show that these birds belong to the Corsican population. Sardinia being an island where scavenger birds of prey have difficulties to survive due to poisoning, these movements threaten Bearded Vultures from Corsica. This may reduce the survival of individuals and endanger the low numbers of birds in Corsica.
