Both Kinney and KathyQ are often at the nestsite together. The new cams make wonderful pictures of them right in front of the cams. Both Kinney and KathyQ engaged in nestdisplay: head-bow-low with ( no doubt) a lot of ee-chupping.

Zwolle: courtship

I just love this couple. They were born in 2006 in Nordrhein-Westfalia, Germany. Their nests were just 50 km apart. They probably have met eachother right after fledging and stayed together. They drove out a huge Gyrfalcon and took hold of the Zwolle nestbox. Last year they had their first clutch of 4 eggs, from which 3 females hatched. They fledged savely. Sadly one of them died after she crashed into a building.

Early this morning there suddenly was a hand cleaning the Zurich nestledge. And by doing so they accidentally knocked of the railing. Sometime later one of the peregrines came by to take a look and inspect the nestbox as well. Pity we cannot see what is going on inside during the season
