SPECIAL SPRING BABIES

When was the last time you had a front-row seat at the birth of baby pelegrine falcons?!


In the left tower of the Saints-Michel-et-Gudule Cathedral, on the lefthand side, up at the very top, a mother pelegrine falcon has made her nest ...



and given birth to 5 babies!  And how do I know and how can I observe them?  Aha!


At the base of the cathedral steps, a camera truck has been parked.  There are web cameras placed high up on the cathedral and on a neighbouring building. We can go into the truck and watch the babies on computers!




They are two weeks old.  I'll go back in 10 days- just before they learn to fly - and take another picture so you can see them again.  Amazing, isn't it?!!
