The First Record of the Peregrine Falcon Nesting on a Tree, Russia

Abstract

On April 29, 2017, in the east of the Novosibirsk region, a Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) nest was found on a birch in the old nest of a Black Kite (Milvus migrans). The nesting tree is located under a steep offshore slope on the right bank of the river Inya, so that the nest is well within view from the shore. There were 5 eggs in the clutch.
