Zwolle





Zwolle: 4 eggs. Expected Hatchday: April 19
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. This clutch is her first ever. Females don't lay their first egg before their 4th year.
