Early, already at the end of March, beginning of April their splendid nuptial flight can be watched as they circle above the nestling place in great height. Generally they build nests on huge oak-tress. In favourable weather a clutch has three eggs, hatching three fledgelings. For prey they regularly frequent even the edge of the nearby villages, besides the field rodents, they swoop upon the small poultry in the field, occasionally carry into their nests even dead small livestock. The young ones leave the nest rather late, at the end of June and for quite some time they stay in its vicinity. The black kite (Milvus migrans) is primarily the inauch noch Mitte Oktober.
