Latest peregrine nest box in Zwolle (The Netherlands) gets occupied!

Recently I devoted a blog entry to the developments of the Peregrine Falcon Falco peregrinus population of Zwolle, The Netherlands. On February 18, 2014, I helped Jan van Dijk (Raptor Workinggroup Zwolle) with installing a new nest box on a transmission tower in the north of the city, where a potential breeding pair has been observed for about a year now (http://www.timvannus.blogspot.nl/2014/02/the-peregrine-eyries-of-zwolle.html).Today Jan informed us the birds already accepted the box (and not the top of the tower's staircase) and that there is a lot more going on with the Peregrines in Zwolle: http://ringert34.blogspot.pt/2014/03/toppie.html
