Any day now
I know they already featured several times on my previous blog, but I just have to mention our Peregrine Falcons once again. Since 2004, a pair has been nesting atop the St. Michael and St. Gudula cathedral in the heart of Brussels, just a flightless chick's leap from the Central Station. The current female is now 14 years old and has succesfully raised a total of 36 chicks since 2006, 19 of those fathered by her own son! This year, egg-laying started on 27 February and hatching was expected around 5 April but there is still no sign of any little beaks. As there is a live camera transmitting images from the nest 24 hours a day, you may well get to see a Peregine chick hatch if you take a look over the next few days.
