Once again this year, RÃ¥ger and Linnea incubated four eggs. However, it was thought that RÃ¥ger appeared to be injured at some point during the spring, and then he disappeared.

Linnea continued to incubate, but the eggs did not hatch. Usually this pair has been given a foster chick to raise, and they have done a wonderful job each time.

A few days ago, RÃ¥ger's body was found. His bands (A/2) were clearly visible. It would seem that his disappearance was not caused by a territorial dispute after all. He had no visible injuries. I translated this from the Swedish on the site, with some assistance from Google.

RÃ¥ger's disappearance earlier this summer was not entirely unexpected. Perhaps primarily because of the disturbance that had occurred in the territory in connection with the "intrusion" of other falcons, but also because of his advanced age. But the explanation that it was probably due to an accidental event was a less-anticipated solution.

In the last few days, Lantmännen's staff found Råger's remains inside a pipe. It is always very sad, even when it is caused by an accidental incident. At the same time, with the experience that Råger had at this place, why should he suffer? I do not think he was quite okay physically, but it may be due to the time element and even the pipe itself may have been the cause of the accident.

However, we will probably never learn the whole truth about what happened.

This is another very sad loss. RÃ¥ger was the first and only resident male at this site from the beginning. He was a great provider, a very supportive mate and a great Dad to his chicks. He will be missed.

In the meantime, a new, unbanded male appeared at the nest. Linnea has now accepted him.
