Fancy raising money for a good cause, whilst abseiling off #DerbyCathedral tower? Register for a sponsored abseil on Saturday 15th August!

New research from University of Leeds & the RSPB shows that burning on grouse moors is exposing millions of people to unsafe air pollution levels. Yet another reason to ban this 'sport'. Press release & link to the paper ⬇️ raptorpersecutionuk.org/2026/05/20/n...

Can you believe the #ROC #peregrine eyases are growing feathers already? Time flies!

The family this afternoon during FledgeWatch.

Took the collapsed and sodden base of our peregrine platform to Raynesway Amenity Site today.l This picture shows what 10 years of weather does to outdoor OSB. No wonder it collapsed!

First flapping! Not much but it's a start 🙂

The Rochester NY falcon cams have been instrumental in the recovery of the peregrine falcon since 1995! The Art Deco high rise building ledges simulate the natural ledges peregrines use for scrapes in the wild! The nest box provides shelter from the weather and a safe place for the eggs to hatch.6/8

Taking steps to work out how to reduce multiple banging and slapping sounds on our new nestbox webcam.

Gosh. Derby's peregrines have been recorded feeding a rat to their chicks, but this is really impressive!

It was all cracking off today... #DerbyPeregrines derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/2026/04/stil...

The return of spawning salmon to the River Ecclesbourne is a huge win, as we work to restore 100,000 acres of land and water! Together with Nestlé UK and Ireland, @wildtrouttrust.bsky.social, and Chatsworth Estate we've bypassed the Poston Mill weir and reconnected 28km of river 💧 #WorldWaterDay

Full house now for the Leicester Peregrines! 4 Eggs now onsite @leicsperegrines.bsky.social @lrosbirds.bsky.social #ukbirding #peregrines #leicester

Settling down for a quite night, I think. #DerbyPeregrines derbyperegrines.blogspot.com

This man had a conviction for public indecency after being caught masturbating in his car in view of vulnerable adults & children. Not sure why the police considered him suitable to be entrusted with shotgun/firearms certificates!

This is a key moment in our campaign to end the dumping of dredged silt in a Marine Conservation Zone. Every sign up matters! Thank you! @sussexornitholo.bsky.social @mcsuk.bsky.social @markavery.bsky.social @bluemarinef.bsky.social

The tiercel brought food to the female around 7:15 this morning, which she plucked enthusiastically. Still no sign that they’ve found the new nest box yet. derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam...

Great webcam clip of our cathedral peregrines mating earlier today. youtu.be/3d5gWSAslGo?...

Our pair of #peregrine #falcons don't seem to want to leave their old nest platform. They certainly haven't discovered the new one we built for them yet. There's a camera on both locations: derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam... #birdinguk #webcams

A fresh blog post just dropped about our new nest box and webcam. (Someone even described it as having "Scandi sauna vibes"!) View the Nest Cams here: derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam... derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/2026/03/up-a... #DerbyPeregrines #DerbyUK #DerbyCathedral

A round up, in no particular order, of the peregrine falcon nest cams of England: Spring 2026 Expect to see the first eggs laid in some of these locations in the next week or two

This came today & for anyone interested in birds from the North of our County, or simply Sheffield area, it’s a must. Superbly bound & quality images and art work. A few highlights from glancing through. Well played @shefbirdstudy.bsky.social you should be very proud 👍 #PeakDistrict #Birds

Now that our #webcam is online, do please let us know if you see or hear any #peregrine falcon activity in our brand new nest box on the Cathedral tower roof! Hoping they'll discover it soon Watch them here: derbyperegrines.blogspot.com/p/our-webcam... #derbyperegrines #birding #derbyuk #wildlife

Finally got the webcam in our new peregrine nest box installed today.

Fascinating and rarely seen view inside the nave roof of #DerbyCathedral today.

I never fail to be awed and inspired by the amazing detailed work done by @ruthtingay.bsky.social on Raptor Persecution UK. It is an absolute go to to find out more about raptor crime, and is essential in bringing awareness about persecution to the general public.

Successful abseil today to remove the collapsing base of our 10 year old #peregrine falcon nest platform, and the installation of a new nest box and camera on the tower roof. Webcams are not yet configured - more work to be done tomorrow.

Two hours dangling on an #abseil rope today. What a delight to get off and to get some circulation back in my legs. #DerbyCathedral #Derbyperegrines #climbing #rappel

It’s always a thrutchy start to an abseil off #DerbyCathedral. #DerbyPeregrines

There's a Peregrine Project on the Cromer Church in the UK. Webcams are apparently going live in about a week's time. #PeregrineFalcons www.cromerperegrineproject.co.uk

AHHH! Love is in the air! Thanks Dana!

Today's the last day of National Nestbox Week! So who's built a nice big one like ours? #derbyperegrines #nestbox #ukbirding #peregrinefalcon

Finally finished the new peregrine nest box today. Just some clearing up, fitting cameras and a few minor tweaks. Oh, plus an abseil to remove the sagging base of our old platform, of course.

People-powered nature recovery in action 💚 Wilder Wirksworth started with a Facebook post and now they’re managing 11 acres of wildlife-rich habitat! As a Species Survival Fund grant recipient, they’re proving that communities can lead nature’s recovery. Be inspired 👇 #CommunityAction

Our new, experimental peregrine falcon nest box on the tower roof at Derby Cathedral is nearly finished. #derbyperegrines

Exciting times waiting for the postman next week! Three wide-angle #Axis IP outdoor cameras with IR illumination and an external microphone should be winging their way to me shortly. Oh, plus a cheap analogue nest camera for direct TV viewing. Maybe not so exciting for you, but they are for me!
