It is a report of an attack by a young female peregrine falcon on an occupied nesting place in the spring of 2021. A couple was brooding on the church tower of St. Maarten, Kortrijk, the female had already laid 2 eggs. However, the adult female was chased away by the young (second year) female. The male, who should have defended his nest with the older female, quickly took sides with the new female. He even brought her prey the same day. Obviously, this brood was doomed to fail. The eggs were left alone for a while. After that, the male started breeding on his own, in vain. He was occasionally chased away by the new female. That new female had no connection with the eggs. She has eaten one in the meantime. Hatch thus fails.
Can someone translate this into English please?

@@yvesdebosscher9785 Wow that's amazing, thanks so much! At first I thought it was a Juvie that the Mom raised in another season.
Thank You for the translation, so sad for mom. Will she try again the same season?
Is Emma ooit nog terug gekomen?
Nee.
