Falcon's Nest in Poland - description
The falcon falcon is a cosmopolitan widespread falconic bird. The female is significantly larger than the male and can reach up to the size of the raven. It has long pointed wings and a short tail that narrows to the end. The coloring is the most striking characteristic dark "beard" on the white face. Its predators are predominantly birds up to the size of the duck.
The wingspan of the migratory falcon is 85 - 115 cm, body length 35 - 50 cm. Males weigh from 500 g to 750 g, females are significantly larger and weigh 910 to 1500 g. The size is variable as well as color, depending on which subspecies are. Larger species are larger, southern species are smaller.
The plums are sexually mature at two to three years. Before nesting, he performs aerobatic engagement flights. In nature they nest mostly on rock walls, if they do not have rocks, they also nest in an old nest of another species. The nest itself does not build or modify, it often nests on a rock on a bare base. There was also a nest on the ground. He likes human structures and often nests in the ruins of castles or various towers. Still, unlike kestrel, it does not nest too often in large cities. They regularly return to their nests, or they nest at least near the old site.

And so ended an interesting but unfortunate story of this breeding season on the chimney of a refinery in Gdańsk. The first three eggs were laid by Skierka starting on March 23, Skierka disappeared on April 6, before the new female Nowa laid two eggs, the first incubated male on April 21. After laying the first egg, a new female took over the incubation of all eggs. Three Skierka eggs were probably hypothermic and two Nowy were probably not fertilized. As a result, Ster bred eggs for 98 days and Nowa 69, while the average incubation time was 34 days.

the poor man was still looking for eggs
22.6. still taking care of the eggs will no longer help, I'm sorry for the mothers
15.6. and I believed that at least it would work out here, sad for this year's falcons
11.6. maybe at least there will be 5 falcons here
Unfortunately it will not be, there is a new female in the nest… The first three eggs were laid by the original female 23.3, 26.3 and 28.3, the new female laid two eggs, namely 21.4 and 25.4. Hatching is 29-30 days.
Hello, I'm watching the nesting here, it's instructive and since I'm not an ornithologist, I'd like to ask. Does this mean that the eggs were not fertilized or shy? Whenever I look here, someone is sitting on the clutch. Thank you for the explanation.
Hello Hynek, I am also not an ornithologist, just an enthusiast who likes to watch what is happening on nests in nature. Unfortunately, the original female disappeared here on the nest and the eggs apparently cooled down. The first three eggs were certainly fertilized, the female Skyerka nested here for several years and brought out several young with the male. The new female, which appeared in the nest after about a month, laid new eggs, but also warmed the previous one. Here it is possible that the new female is young and the eggs were not fertilized, as I observed, so she did not move slowly from the nest. She will heat the eggs for a few more days before she realizes that the nesting has failed.
This year, the falcons' nesting was not very successful, not only in this nest.
Thank you Petro for the lighting.
Little did I know that there was a month's delay. So now I'm going to watch how strong such a nesting instinct is for falcons. Damage. The camera is located so well here that I was looking forward to watching the pups being taken out of the immediate vicinity.

4.6. five eggs still have time
