A pair of peregrine falcons are back in their nest box at the Agfa chimney

Since 2008, one to four youngsters have fledged every year after seeing the light of day above Mortsel. Only during the wet and cold spring of 2024 did all four young peregrine falcons in the nest die.

This year too, another nest is on its way, because in recent weeks the webcam has regularly observed the couple that took care of young in previous years. This concerns the male with a ring and the female without a ring.

It now remains to be seen whether eggs will be laid in the nest box for the eighteenth spring in a row. It would bring the number of peregrine falcons born in Mortsel above 45. The events in the nest can be followed via the webcam.
