Veldhoven, The Netherlands Peregrines

[AlisonL]

The male at this nest site is DF, born in 2008 at the de Mortel nest, one of the first chicks of Pa and S2. He has been at Veldhoven for some years now.

The resident female is banded AF. She was born in 2009 at the Mönchengladbach nest in Germany (also known as the Niederkrüchten-Elmpt nest).

I think the egg on the right has a good-sized pip.

The birds at this nest are still Pa's son DF and his mate AF. This year, they raised four beautiful chicks.

Found them bonding at the nest yesterday:

The resident female is still AF, born at Mönchengladbach in 2009. Her mate continues to be DF, born at de Mortel in 2008, a son of Pa and S2.

Last night the female spent the night in the nest for the first time, and this morning, the first egg has arrived.
