Hungarian Sakers had a more successful year than in 2010: in total 425 juveniles fledged from 144 successful breeding, which means 2,95 juveniles / nest on average. By comparison: that number was 2,6 in the extremely rainy year of 2010.
The majority of pairs (118) chose the pylons of high voltage power lines for nesting and many of them bred in the aluminum nest boxes installed in the frame of the Saker conservation LIFE programme.
