De Mortel - Netherlands

We have a first hatch..........It 's quiet at the moment.There is a problem with the computer,at the moment no cams working at Beleef de Lente .Also no more livestreaming because someone "missused"
the streaming on another forum.If I am correct.VWG stopped the streaming !
I let you know if something changes.Greetings

I was shocked to see this on fb. I never thought the eggs would hatch with all the upset there lately!! I hope this new male will take care of her and the babies!! I heard last week Pa was at the nest again! Is he waiting in the wings??? This is just a sad year for VV and Pa. Praying for some peace!

I've been reading comments and seeing pics on BCAW that Pa and VM1 haven't been seen lately but VM2 is now with Vievie.  She has been trying to store some food near her in the box because they felt she needed some close to feed the hatch.  There was a pip last night so hatching was close.  VM2 came in and stole some of her food yesterday which they think she had taken from his cache site. Vievie has been remarkable during this chaos in that she continued to incubate, taking short breaks when she needed, and protecting the eggs from intruders.  I don't know how she's going to manage feeding herself and baby plus keeping the eyas warm unless VM2 steps up to the plate.  I don't watch the goings on but just read posts..too difficult.

Well remember when S2 showed up, she stole all the food from Pa also. 1 "little guy" died and we were all outraged and blasted S2 for days. Ya know, she finally stepped up and was a great mom. Maybe this guy will learn real quick also! Just a crazy, crazy season there.

I remember that well Donna!  S2 turned out to be a wonderful mom.

I didn't watch this site back then but heard about it..hoping this guy does the same.

So far, so good! Vievie fed her babies..Falcon sat on porch outside the box.

Oh my!  Vievie's being a very good mom.  Hope she hangs tough and gets some help soon.

Oh my goodness!  Let's hope the male is doing more than just visiting.  A little hunting would be nice.  Vievie is Supermom!

She will need the help.......big time. I'm still in shock that any hatched. Hoping for NO more drama!

And then 1R came in,making noises.
VV kept a prey from the corner and started feeding the Little ones,while he watched,as if to say that's how you have to do it.Then he left.

I'm sure there will be a video later.
