De Mortel: eyases on the run








This is "my own nestsite" in De Mortel. And of course I'm very envolved with the peregrines overhere. It is very touching to watch how very devoted S2 his to her first ever eyases. The way she protects them, holds them close, she is very attached to them. Of course all mothers are. But there is absolutely a difference between nestsites. The way Mariah of Rochester en SW of Cleveland are devoted to their hatchlings, is comparable with this S2.
The 4 eyases are all hatched with time difference to eachother, so it makes a very nice pic, these 4 of different heights. 3 On the move, the youngest pressing himself to his mother. It is a joy watching this, my own nestsite. We are so vert happy with this succes, and grateful to our new sponsors Alticom , Internl and Eco farm De Biezen. Without them we would not have been able to present the footage to the world.
