Judit Kanász-Nagy posted to BCAW Facebook page a link to a cam in Hildesheim Germany at the St. Andrew's Church.
From what I can tell, this is the second year. Thanks Judit!

The Esslingen Falcons had not been seen all winter, which was very unusual. But today I read that they were heard and seen. And it was assumed the scrape was made by one of them.
But now it seems like this duck (?) is responsible. :girlcrazy:

(Would make a great meal for the PeFa's ) :teehee:

Karlsruhe, I think this is the male and a female was nearby, flying round the back of the tower at one time. Couldn't get a picture of that moment

Ensdorf:

First time I see one in the box at night

I did see the picture of the duck looking very cozy and I also thought what a nice meal it would make...

A duck? Really? How big is that duck?...they can be pretty mean...not sure the falcons want to tangle with them!!!

Bocholt: Watertower peregrine falcon's nest occupied by Eagle Owl

Ernst Klöcker from NABU-Bocholt sent me that photo collage (Bella & Guest).
He got the snapshot by an infra red camera he installed in the box...

The web cam will be online in at least 1-2 weeks. Let's see wheather Amadeus & Bella will regain
their old nest because the substitute nest box on Liebfrauenkirche is closed.

Thanks Ferenz for the Bocholt news...
I am not sure they can have the nest back for this year if the owl has eggs.
Remember the GHO's that have moved into the Osprey nests
-the "O" have to find a new home. They will not mess with the owls.

Thanks for the news, Ferenz..Nope...I'm afraid the Falcons will not regain the box, especially if the owl has eggs...This happened for several years at one of the WE nests. Gosh where are Amadeus & Bella gonna go now!!!

Die Wanderfalken sind vor einer Woche in den Nistkasten am Wasserturm zurückgekehrt. Im Kiesboden haben sie bereits eine Nistmulde geschoben.
Nun das große Problem: Auch ein UHU besucht regelmäßig den Nistkasten am Wasserturm ! Seit dem 26.Februar taucht er dort nachts immer wieder auf. Das belegen Fotos/Videos, die ich dort mit einer Überwachungskamera (Fotofalle) gemacht habe. Er ist der einzige natürliche Feind der Wanderfalken und könnte dann gefährlich werden, wenn die Falken nach der Eiablage auch nachts im Kasten brüten! Wie wir das Problem lösen, weiß ich noch nicht. Es soll in den nächsten Tagen entschieden werden.

Ernst mailed me that they intend either to expel the eagle owl by installing a roost at the nest box entrance which has an opening, that allows only the falcons through, or to reopen the nest box at Liebfrauenkirche. The decision will be made this weekend.

Thanks Ferenz for the update. I was so hoping that they were going to do something to help Amadeus and Bella. Those mean owls. :snowflake3:
