Peregrine Chicks At St Gudule

To witness this beautiful natural spectacle, the Belgian Natural Science Institute has had two cameras installed right beside the nest. The images are sent live to a television set installed in a building site on the cathedral square. Ornithologists will answer all your questions on the spot, from Tuesday to Sunday, from 12 to 6 p.m. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the falcons through the telescope!

In fact, a completely exceptional spectacle is being offered to the inquisitive! For the peregrine falcon is a bird that for several decades had completely disappeared from our lands. And because of its wingspan and the blinding speed of its dives (nearly 200mph), it gives off a certain nobility in the Brussels sky! But before that, the peregrine falcon was a baby chick. Its parents nourished it, looked after it, and cuddled it without respite.

This spectacle will be visible on live images transmitted 24 hours a day until May 20th. Binoculars and telescopes are also welcome for watching the pair's comings and goings, as well as their spectacular pigeon hunting!
