Résumé :	A long-term study of Egyptian Vultures Neophron percnopterus in southwest France showed a marked population recovery from 1985, the species having declined greatly during the previous decade and more. This resurgence was due in part to improved weather during critical periods of the breeding cycle, and also reflected improvements in the fortunes of the Spanish population. The species' relationship with the Griffon Vulture Gyps fulvus was also studied, and its response to nest-site usurpation by the larger vulture showed interesting adaptations.
