Zwolle

A picture of yesterday. Electrabel is busy getting the feed online. But it didn't work quite the way it should be. So de cams where offline today. Electrabel is telling me that they are doing everthing they can to start the feed as soon as possible.

Let me introduce the falconcouple to you:
The female was born on May 12 2005 in Hamm, Germany. She's banded left leg: broad white band K/6. She grew up in a nest of 4 sisters. A real sister act!
The male was born on May 5 2005 in Dortmund, Germany . He's banded left leg: broad white band K/3. He was in the nest with 3 brothers.
On April 23 2007 they where first seen in Zwolle, as a bonded couple. Since 2002 the nest was occupied by a Gyrfalcon who prevented any peregrine falcon from laying eggs in the nestbox.
The egg she has laid is her first egg ever. Females don't lay their first egg before their 4th year.
