A new nesting territory of the Saker Falcon in Bulgaria has been found!
04.05.2023
Weeks of resilient observations gave results and we found another Saker Falcon pair during this nesting season.
It was no surprise to us that one of the birds of the pair has been released within the breeding program of the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Breeding Centre of Green Balkans, part of the activities of the project Return of the Saker Falcon Reintroduction in Bulgaria. This was confirmed by the orange ring on the leg of the female, which is the proof that she has been hatched in the Centre in 2020.
The Green Balkans team has worked for 12 years on the restoration of the Saker Falcon as a nesting species in Bulgaria, after decades of its absence in the wild in the country.
This season, together with the BSPB’s field team within the "Life for Falcons" project, funded by the LIFE Programme of the European Union, we observe two confirmed pairs of the species in Bulgaria. Both of them are formed by birds, released as part of the Green Balkan activities dedicated to the returning of the species in the country.
We hope that we will share more often with you such news, which brings us hope and joy.
