False Falcon - Nest of France
Falcon's Nest - Description
The nest is located in the French town of Illkirch-Graffenstaden at St. The bell tower symphony, the city and the LPO installed the nesting box on September 19, 2015.
The aim of this project is not to replace natural habitats or to attract these birds of prey in order to limit the overgrowth of pigeons, but to allow the birds present to choose the area to breed under the best conditions.
No human intervention is made except for the initial installation of the nest box and its annual cleaning (with the kind support of the Les Mousquifs Climbing Club).
The peregrine falcon almost disappeared in the 70s due to pesticides. This species has been saved by a ban on DDT since the 80s and a ban on other organochlorine pesticides. Monitoring and protection of nesting areas by engaged ornithologists also contributed. Alsace currently has around 50 to 60 pairs.
After the male (Flash) disappeared at the end of February 2018, a new male (Flashblack) appeared that nested with the female Valentine.

16.4. The 12,33 snarling turtle kept company until 15,06, the female woke up in a voice welcoming the exchange so she could run away
Spring, it wasn't a turtle dove, but a wood pigeon. He sits on the landing every day, yesterday he was there with his female.
Thank you for the correction
11.4. The 7,46 snarling turtle walks calmly on the landing, he certainly knows that falconers only hunt in flight. The female is calm, waiting for an exchange of what will happen. The dove leaves at 8,03 and in a minute the mother leaves and after a while the male sits on the eggs.

20.2. at night the male guarded, but the female did not arrive, so at 10,33 he began to liquidate the gift for her himself.14,18 that the female would be so upset in the nest?
19.2. 13,16 the snack came alone (pigeon) no one at home, 13,29 angry female. At 14,09, the male brought a gift (almost flew away) to no one at home, so he called and placed the plucked gift in the nest. He returned at 15,29 again calling in vain, so after 10 minutes he flew away again. The female did not show up at all, the gift lies in the nest (16,25).

4.11. camera time 09.56.30.- two falcons. Hello Petro, is this a female Valentine and a male Flashblack? I've only seen one falcon here, probably a female. Thank you for answer.
Hello Marcelo, the first one was a male on the nest, but it's not Flashblack, he has a different color of feathers on his neck and a dark stripe on his beak, it will probably be a new male. Maybe a feathered Lucky who appeared on the nest last year. Shortly after the male, the female Valentine arrived. https://www.illkirch.eu/environnement-cadre-de-vie/davantage-de-biodiversite/journal-2020/
