Peregrines nested on the All Saints tower for the first time in 2021, rearing two chicks. The birds generated great interest in the local community and so over the following winter two cameras, funded by generous donations from members of the church congregation, were installed overlooking the two turrets favoured by the birds. Pea gravel, which provides the perfect nesting substrate, was added in both locations to encourage them to breed again. Sure enough, the birds chose to nest in front of one of the cameras, giving us a privileged view of Peregrine family life over the course of spring and summer 2022, when they reared three chicks. Three chicks again fledged successfully in 2023, followed by four in both 2024 and 2025.  

2025

During 2025 a four chicks fledged successfully from the nest. Volunteer Stuart Wilson has edited this brilliant review of the year, including clips from the nest camera and his own superb photographs and videos, taken in Red Lion Square.
