This is a new site with a webcam which came on line on February 22 of this year. Illkirch-Graffenstaden is located in the extreme northeast corner of France, not far from Strasbourg.

In September 2016, a nest box was installed on the bell tower of the Church of Saint Symphorien, where a peregrine had been observed for about two years. The lone peregrine took possession of the nest box, and soon attracted a female.

The peregrines have been named Flash and Valentine.

Yes, she is a real falcon!

Here are a few pics from this morning:







And a few minutes ago I was lucky enough to see Flash and Valentine together:



I find that I can only access the live feed by going through YouTube.

If you click on the main link below, you wlll see a solid red rectangle on the left with the words S'abonner inside it.

If you click on that rectangle, it will take you to YouTube. Click on the image on the left which says LIVE NOW in red beside it, and that is the live stream.

And imagine, they made that big of a mess just since last September.  They are falcons after my own heart.   heart

Valentine laid her first egg this evening. It wasn't there a little while ago.



Congratulations to Flash and Valentine!

The deck is still messy, but less visible after dark. Peregrines are not exactly known for being neat freaks, with a few exceptions.

February 3, 2018

The webcam has been back online for a short time, and Flash and Valentine have both been around. Last year they successfully raised four chicks at this nest, and I hope this year will also be a good one for them.

Valentine at the nest this morning:
