De Mortel: an intruder


















Early this morning all of a sudden a strange young falcon appeared in front of the ledge cam. No S2 around apparently because otherwise this would have been totally impossible. The tiercel however was present on the ledge. So this intruding female started ee-chupping to him.
It's kinda funny how our tiercel is such an attractive male that females from 100 of miles around try to bond with him.
But S2, she fought her battle for him last year. She is there to stay.
She must have been out hunting, when this female landed on the ledge.
S2 is very territorial as all falcons are.
Th eintruding female had just one silver legband on her right leg.
