Nijmegen: end of the season




End of the season is near in Nijmegen. In the past days the juvies are coming back to the nestbox less and less. Today we have not seen any exept late in teh evening one. It is normal that the juvies get used to the normal peregrine live. Perching somewhere in a high place. Sure the juvies will still get prey from both parents, but they will pluck and eat themselves.





They are in training for stoops and catching prey themselves. As soon as they can they will leave and start their own life. That will be about 12 weeks after fledge, so that is quite some time in teh future. These 3 have fledged may 31.
