Overview

  • A Nabu-installed webcam has broadcast live images of five Turmfalken chicks since their hatch in late May from a nest box on an orchard farm near Bonn.
  • A second camera records the landing platform outside the nest entrance to capture the fledglings’ earliest flight and landing attempts.
  • The downy chicks have begun making their first standing attempts and will soon develop adult feathers.
  • Parents regularly bring mice to feed the growing brood under continuous observation.
  • If development proceeds smoothly, the juveniles are expected to fledge and leave the nest by the end of June.
