on the 16 January a team from the Urban Peregrine Project cleaned out the nest site on Norwich Cathedral Spire.  Amongst the debris was the head of a Teal!  Anyway the very next day the male Peregrine turned up. He's still about waiting for his mate.  Good luck to all these beautiful BoP this year.

That was the Teals fault Oneputt he should have Ducked Embarassed.

You can still see uour Peregrines hunting in the Hereford Town centre. They nest half way up Allsaints Church steeple on a air intakeblock facing SW.

Glad to know that the male is back. I watched on the video cam last year and was disappointed to find the chicks had flown but thats how it happens I guess. The Own and Hawk trust will no doubt supply further information.

First egg laid at nest.  Have checked a couple of times and doesn't look as though the birds are sitting, so hope all ok

You can see clearly the egg in the nest platform but the Falcon is sat looking over the parapet apparently ignoring the egg.  Didn't know that in America Perigrines were historically known as Duck Hawks

It seems thay are quite common in the San Diego area. A friend has posted some great photos on FB he's taken of them in his garden. But of course I can't transfer them to here, unfortunately.

Hopefully Nellie we can sort out posting photos when we meet up.  Do you travel with a tablet or laptop?

Just checked in, Peregrine is sitting on the nest, feathers getting blown about due to high wind.  The watch point has now opened from the cathedral grounds.  There are scopes set up for public use and knowledgeable volunteers to answer questions
