Fieldwork

 

 

 

The fieldwork is a continuation of a survey program including 12 selected peregrine sites. The fieldwork will be concentrated on collecting information on productivity, territory occupation, banding of nestlings, prey selection and phenology. In addition, we will collect data and samples to further investigate the falcon's response to climatic change and their loads of persistent organic pollutants.
