In 2014, they had started about mid-March, while this year we estimate it was around mid-February.

All three have adapted well, despite their respective histories of hardship which, fortunately, brought them to a rehabilitation centre. Many others die in the countryside without a second opportunity.

It has been a very busy week in all the Bonelli captive breeding centres. Three layings have occurred in the three centres within less than ten days, ahead of the expected dates but very welcome. This time it was one of our pairs which in former years, due to their injuries, have not been able to breed successfully. The injuries of the male had made a normal copulation impossible and the eggs were infertile. However, we hope that the experience from former years helped him to overcome his handicap and that he managed to fertilize the eggs this time.
