Watch live with the peregrine falcons on the Lange Jan
For years, a pair of peregrine falcons has been nesting at the top of the Lange Jan. A location that has been regularly used by peregrine falcons for nesting since 2007. Last year, a camera was installed at the nest, and since this year, the livestream can be followed via the YouTube channel of the municipality.
On Wednesday, March 18, the female laid the first egg of this season around 8:00 AM. There are now three eggs, and with a bit of luck, there will be five eggs again this year, just like last year. All five chicks hatched healthy from the eggs last year, which is quite remarkable. So, we have a very experienced and successful mother here at the Lange Jan.
