Another beautiful day in De Mortel comes to an end. We have seen so many great moments again. The sweetness of a peregrine falconmother with her eyases has never made such an impression on me as S2 does with her first 4 hatchlings. She is devoted to her 4 chicks. Watching her these past 14 days makes her behaviour from last year much more understandable. After killing the mother of 3 hatchlings she kept on grabbing their food away. She expressed courting behaviour, but the male just wanted to take care of his eyases. Finally after 3 weeks her motherinstinct slowly awoke. And she started to feed the 2 left chicklets. And cared for them as if they where her own. Seeing now how extremely devoted she is, I kind of understand how and why.
She is really an exeptional falcon this S2 of De Mortel.
It's great to watch her behaviour.
