Female, now busy constructing a nest at a ruderal area in the harbour of Boulogne-sur-Mer (this area was cleared in 2014). No data on why the breeding site in the Netherlands was abandoned, and if this is a new partner in France (but not very likely the pair left together and restart together at a new location?).

With two chicks.
