De Mortel: bonding in the new nestbox

Today we watched the first visit Pa and S2 made to the new nestbox.
And they sure seemed to like it a lot.
It was a very beautiful sunny wintersday in the Netherlands today. Nature immediately reacts on the sunshine.
Pa and S2 decided to go to the new nestbox for serious bonding. They were ee-chupping and displayed some head-bow-low.

We are very happy with the new webcams. Just look at the amazing colors.!! Imagine what kind of awesome stream we will have next season!!

Quests travels

A look at the map shows Quest returning to some of her favorite haunts on the Cape, including Wellfleet Bay and Monomoy Island. But the timestamps tell a different story.

Quest usually takes her trips to Monomoy during the day, but our most recent data inhttp://rfalconcam.com/imprints/dicates that she has actually been spending her nights on the tidal flat. We didn’t receive any good data for the 3rd but the data for the 29th, 2nd and 4th places her there in the early morning and late evening. On at least one occasion we were fortunate to get consecutive good data passes at hourly intervals indicating that she is indeed spending the night on the northern end of Monomoy Island.



The data points are so closely spaced that it appears she’s found a particular area she likes. The satellite image doesn’t show any structures nearby, so it’s not clear where she’s staying, but something on the island seems to appeal to her.
