Falchi pellegrini a Bocholt, Germania

Messaggio da Ferenz »

New nest box with approach grid. The box is installed on the north
side of Liebfrauenkirche. Between the left column you can see the
Bocholt water tower.

View from water tower towards Liebfrauenkirche.
On the galery above the clock you can see the installed nest box
between the columns. During our work the peregrine falcons were
cruising above us.

Thanks so much Ernst for giving the permission
to load up your precious photos to BCAW.


Today Ernst made some visits at Liebfrauenkirche (9:30am and 12:15am). At both times Ernst could see Bella sitting on a perch of the north east side of the church tower (nearly 4-5 meters below the galery). At both times Amadeus appeared immediately and the pair shouted and copulated for seconds! The peregrines apparently will need only hours for finding and accepting the new nest box.

Here is a link to NABU-Borken, if you like to get contact with Ernst...
I think it's worth to all people who like to get informations for protecting peregrine falcons in germany

Bella was sitting on her favourite perch near the curch clock. There were no signs that the peregrines haved moved into the nest box yet.

The wrapping of the water tower is complete.
Now the upper fourth of the tower will be restored according to the city rules for protection of historical monuments.

- Good News from Ernst -
Bella & Amadeus have found the nest box.
Cheating and flying around the church at high noon
the two peregrine falcons examined the box.

Today's afternoon the peregrines stayed some hours at Liebfrauenkirche.
Ernst guessed that Bella was preparing the gravel inside the nest for about 1 hour, because she didn't appear until Amadeus called to her with a defeathered little bird. Bella took it and vanished into the nest box. Amadeus then perched again 4 meters below.

Just a normal day for Amadeus & Bella...both falcons are perching and sometimes cruising around Liebfrauenkirche looking for prey. In pic 2 you can see Bella on a column from the roof of Christuskirche. Pic 3 shows Bella leaving the nest box.

Thanks very much Ferenz. It seems that the falcons like the new 'home'. Let's hope that the old English saying 'New home, new baby' is good for them :wink: :bash:
