It seems that Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) are now moving from the countryside into our towns and cities here in the UK. Numerous reports of nesting pairs are cropping up all over the country, and to try and help the plight of these birds, 2 pairs are undergoing closer scrutiny than they would normally. Apparently towns and cities are great for peregrines as they offer the high-spots in which they like to nest and perch, offering great views of the surrounding areas (so that they can spot any potential predators as well as prey).
