De Mortel: S2 and Pa









Very early morning in a foggy spring morning in De Mortel near Gemert. Pa brings breakfast for his mate S2 and his 4 hatchlings in the nestbox. S2 has heard his arrival and gets out of the nestbox real fast. She takes over the meat to feed her hungry eyases. Pa is out hunting most of the day. De Alticom Tower in De Mortel near Gemert is standing in the middle of a great and beautiful nature area. Many passerines have their habitat here, together with small gamebirds, dear, foxes and so on. An awful lot of pigeons live here as well, flying round the tower in flocks. What more does can a peregrine falcon wish for: prey by the hundreds, height, a very luxerious nestbox and no competition. So Pa has his territory here for years now, for S2 everything is quite new. But I'm sure she never wants to leave again.
