For the past days we have been wondering and counting and watching and not knowing if we have 3 or 4 eyases. Today S2 finally let us in on her secret. This formidable falcon made her whole first clutch hatch. And that is quite a job!
But on the other hand, she and Pa did practise an awful lot to get pregnant. For weeks, several times a day. And our SuperPa well he did it again!
Both peregrines are excellent parents; S2 prooved last year in being a stepmother to Hope and Faith that she is very well capable of raising eyases. These 4 are being stuffed. And as usual she is making an enormous mess out of the nestbox. Already. Keeping left over prey items right beside her. Cuddling the eyases up in pigeonwings, leaving a headless bird nest to the eyases. She is quite messy lady. But we all love her dearly for it!
