Out of 19 couples that started with incubation in the beginning of May 11 remain successfully raising a chick.
April 2010: Meanwhile a total of 18(19) couples have started with reproduction. At least 9 chicks have hatched in the Alps.
On ~21st of February the first hatchling could be observed this year in the Vanoise National Park. Congratulations to Jean Pierre Martinot and his successful monitoring team.
In the year 2009 13 couples started to breed in the Alps. Two more might have started but could not be checked because the risk of avalanche was too high. In 5 cases the breeding failed. The first chicks hatched in March. Eight birds fledge during summer 2009.
