Cheating in the pair of peregrine falcons from Kortrijk? Female Peregrine Falcon Emma is chased away by a young new female

If you keep an eye on the live stream of Peregrine Falcons Kortrijk, you have seen with your own eyes how peregrine falcon Cor has committed adultery. Female Emma, ​​with whom Cor has been living in the Sint-Maartenstoren for six years, has been thrown outside. Emma had recently laid two more eggs, but they have now been taken by a young new female.

Peregrine falcons’ adultery is quite unusual, according to Yves De Bosscher of the South West Flanders Bird Working Group. “Peregrine falcons are normally very loyal. They usually form couples for life, but apparently not in Kortrijk.”
