Florence: growing stronger





Little Ariosto has grown into a strong chicklet of 20 days old already.

Rochester morning feeding





Harrisburg: 9 days old







Zwolle: 15 days old







The Zwolle eyases got a very early breakfast, and a few hours later the female brought in a fresh pigeon. No doubt caught in Zwolle. There are an awful lot of citypigeons in our cities. Living on French fries and hamburgers. Such a fat one was served for the morning break to 3 very eager customers in the nestbox in Zwolle. They loved it and their little crops where growing into stuffed puoches.

Brighton Sussex Heights: 13 days old







It's hot throughout Europe. So the 4 eyases in Brighton where panting as well, laying flat out to cool off. In the evening they got a nice meal from teh female. These 4 are very sweet. There is a difference between eyases, in character, but certainly in looks. They have very distinctive features that are very different from eyas to eyas. These 4 have sweet features. For instance the Rome eyases hev very fierce features fitting to there very raptorial behaviour, already that is.

De Mortel in the morning





Oberhausen





Heidelberg: 27 days old








The Heidelberg eyases have been banded. They both got male names although the bigger one is of course a female. This has been done to honor two men who played an important part in the project. So the female is called Jürgen. The male is called Hans.

Bologna: how they've grown





The Bologna eyases are 38 days now and turning into beautiful juvi's It always amazes me how fast it goes, this transformation from a little white fluffy thing into a brown raptor to be. The Bologna two are very often outside on the ledge watching the world go by. Within 8 days they will probably fledge. I will keep a close eye on them
