Conservationists in Moravia protecting newly-hatched peregrine falcons
Conservationists in the Moravian Karst Protected Landscape Area in Blansko have closed part of the region to tourists so as to protect seven newly-hatched peregrine falcons which are being monitored in two nests. The falcons made their nests right above a hiking trail and the newly hatched birds belong to a protected species. The area should remain closed for three months. The falcons are being monitored by ornithologists, whose unique photographs and videos have given nature lovers the chance to follow their development inside the nests.
