Muut haukat - Other Falcons, Kestrels & Hawks 2021

[Ferenz]

One chick has left the nest, but is safe. On the afternoon of August 15, 2021, several observers reported that one of the chicks had fallen from the nest.

At 2:16 p.m., the larger chick spun on the exit and lost its footing and then its balance, sliding onto the L-section iron under the exit. (This iron has an edge of a few centimeters, so when the chick spreads its wings and tries to move, it slips.)

Around 2:30 pm, one of the parents was just coming home with the prey. Then the chick started moving on the L-profile, slipped off the edge and fell out of the camera's view. The parent bird flew after it.

We informed colleagues near the scene, who were at the mast fifteen minutes after the incident, searching for the fallen chick. Fortunately, neither feathers nor chick were found, suggesting that it either sailed into a nearby row of trees or became entangled in the now towering corn currently being planted in the area. (The lack of feathers suggests that it did not hit the iron fittings and was not caught by the fox, which is important since foxes are common in the area and count the area below the nest during fledging season.)

In the meantime, the parents had also started searching for the chick, so the colleagues left the area, confident that they would find it and bring it food.

This incident occurred before fledging, but even the chicks that fledged in time continue to be fed by their parents for weeks after they have learned to fly and hunt.

Our falcon expert will be on site today and we hope he can confirm the facts so far. We will keep you updated here as well.

We would like to thank the many viewers who contacted us immediately after the incident so that we could respond in time. We are happy that so many people think our bird conservation activities are important and support our work.

Hungary hobbie falcons: 2nd accident 18 August2021.
Little one has conquered the front bar...flapping, jumped towards the iron bar in front of him and fell down!

New report from Ragadozomadar-Facebook website:

The fall of the chick #1 as seen by the expert.

Our expert watched the video of the chick's fall and concluded that, unlike the smaller chick, the larger one was so advanced that it was able to sail 400-500 metres after the fall. This meant that it could fly down to higher plants, either in the tree line or in the cornfield, where it was not threatened by any predators.

If his parents continued to look after him, in 2-3 days his wings would be so mature that he could fly up the ironwork of a post on his own. He didn't see the chick on the site visit either, but he could hear its voice and see that its parents were keeping an eye on the area, bringing prey to the site. He confirmed that there were no feathers either near or far from the pole, meaning that he had not been hit by a collision and no predators had found him. The nearby fox nest is also uninhabited, having been abandoned by the fox family some time ago.

The fledgling, which is expected to fly back to the nest within days, will presumably fly back to the vicinity of the nest as it is attached to its sibling and the parents from whom it receives its prey. There is no need to capture him, as he was lucky to fall out of the nest and is strong enough (it would be difficult to capture him in the corn anyway). On the other hand, even if we did succeed and put him back in the brood box, he would most likely fly out again because he has been through it and would have no trouble.

Once the chicks have fledged, there is nothing to tie them to the nest because their parents can feed them anywhere and they no longer need the security of the brood box. Within days, we will go out again to observe the column's surroundings and report back on what we have seen.

Both chicks returned to the nest early morning. First food delivery for big chick (with plume feathers on it's back). Little one tried in vain to steel the prey...

Pesä on puulaatikossa, joka on asennettu Charles Sturtin yliopiston vesitornin yläosaan lähellä Orangen kaupunkia Uuden Etelä-Walesin keskilännessä.

Pesäpainauma onkin nyt keskellä ja ekaa munaa veikattu 27.8. Izzy on ollut jo pari viikkoa omillaan.

Kiitos armaani maistuisko nyt kottarainen?

Diamond siirtyi vanhemman Swiftin tilalle vuonna 2015 ja Xavier korvasi Bulan vuonna 2016 (joka puolestaan korvasi ensimmäisen miehemme Beaun vuonna 2015). Xavier saapui juuri, kun munat kuoriutuivat ja pelastivat kauden tarjoamalla Diamondin ja hänen kolme poikastaan.

Voimme odottaa munan kuoriutuvan lokakuun 6-9, ja todennäköisin päivä on lokakuun 7.
