De Mortel















Yesterday we where in De Mortel to do some more testing with the refresh images. Seems to be working good and we are now waiting for the site to get ready, so that these 20 seconds refresh images will become available for everybody. I'll keep you updated!
Both peregrines are doing great! 4 beautiful eggs are incubated constantly. They take turns breeding and Dad is on the eggs a lot. S2 has been off the eggs and sitting in the rain just for fun all yesterday afternoon. Dad was enjoying himself sitting on the eggs. As you can see on the photo's Dad provides S2 with fine prey: he keeps his young bride satisfied. He will have to catch lots of prey once his babies are born. The parents will be very busy, the both of them raising 4 eyases. When they turn after their big mother, lots of pigeons will have to fly into their little beaks to get them strong and ready to fledge.
I plan to visit the Tower a lot, especially when the fledgelings appear on the rostrum screaming and flapping their wings. Love to see them playing with eachother up in the air. Hope to make lots of photo's of them then.

Froona - thank you so much for making these pictures of Pa and S2 available. I watched the drama last year and cried when I saw the wonderful Mother's Day surprise. Many, many thanks.
