Bird Cams Around the World

Huge prey is right 'ljames'l...look at all the feathers..and great pics! And I love the silhouette picture of the family Hans-Martin Gang...and I love the church building in which these falcons are nesting, so beautiful!

In the second picture, the parent is in the box too and can see from camera one.

Well I haven't caught a feeding, but look at that one in the corner.

Thank you all for your congratulations and snapshots! The four juvs are growing fast and are healthy and fit. JETTA & PERKEO feed them - I think every half an hour - from the many pigeons flying around in our city.
Liebe Grüße aus Heidelberg

In local City Administration they have some technical problems with the server, so our cams are often interrupted, sorry!

Kindergarten-Kids arrive daily on their morning-walk in our City Hall to watch the falcon-kids growing.

Oh, no Beth! A German PF FROONA was already air-borne last year! But I have to honour some friends who help me/us with the cameras etc. I have some ideas...
Hans-Martin

Thanks for the nice falcon pictures Hans-Martin, and the cute picture of the kids watching the monitor.

I have not been able to get this cam since the last time I posted.

Can get the cam this morning, but so far just a pile of fluff, but look how much bigger it is.,

Sorry, we had further trouble with the servers in local City Administration converting the cams` datas into the modus the videostreamserver at another place demands.
Today we could watch a brave chick which crawled away from the three on its own will into the corner! Of course it stumbled soon back with tiny spread wings to the others falling down to its bill twice.
Can we imagine that these small creatures will be airborne in the first week of june, in four weeks?
Yes, we can!

Caught a feeding but will only post a couple pictures, as PB is not working and I'm using something else, I can't work.

But aren't they cute?

Wonderful snapshots, thank you! The Kindergarten-Kids sang a song "Wir werden immer größer, jeden Tag ein Stück!..." i.e. ""We get bigger/taller, every day a small part..."

Banding-event will happen on saturday 8th, around 10.30 a.m.local time. You`ll be asleep then but you won´t miss anything. We take the juvs out and they`ll get their "bling-bling" - yes, golden rings! means born in/on building - on the floor behind/under the nestbox. (Hope, JETTA & PERKEO will be not present! )
Then they are put back into the nestbox.
Names this year are: RALF, REINHARD, TOM, VALENTIN, - all men who assisted me in the last ten years running his project.
Hans-Martin

Thanks for the banding info. Hans-Martin. And that's sounds like a very appropriate song. I bet those kids were almost as cute as the falcons. Those are all nice names too, and how lucky to have a falcon named after you.

Caught morning feeding.







Oh my, how big they are getting.

Yes, they have grown very fast! Yesterday evening we could watch a feeding from both parents, mind the smaller tiercel PERKEO at the right. I recognize him with his strong-yellow fangs/feet.
