I love a peregrine falcon - amazing creatures.

Here is a link to the Sheffield Uni webcams by the perch and the NEST!

http://peregrine.group.shef.ac.uk/

I'll be watching closely over coming weeks....

Does anyone know of any other 'nestcams'?

I know the peregrines in Bath have had a camera in the past, but I’m not sure if they still do, and they nest on Salisbury Cathedral as well, but again, I don’t know if they have a camera.

There's a nest near me but it's way up a pylon in the middle of fields so no cam. Thanks for the links.

We have a nest cam at work (Bournemouth water). Put it and a box in last year to see if the adults would nest.

They did and 3 healthy chicks last year (can’t remeber their proper name).

They’ve come back again this year and have another egg.

Best £2,000 my team has ever spent!

I won’t send the link because I’m mad paranoid about someone disturbing them although their location is inaccessible unless you are a climber!

I would love to have had a camera on ours (well, the church over the road's) but we are definitely getting all the audio as they are so loud at this time of year.  The churchyard has become a mess of intestines, wings, heads and feathers.  Thanks for the links.

Should be a nest cam from Derby cathedral - not sure if they have a webcam on the falcons at the Nottingham Trent university Newton building.

There's also a nest on one of the mills at Belper but don't think it's on a cam - just lots of twitchers falling off the pavement onto the A6

The last couple of summers there's been a pair of peregrines flying around Salts Mill in Saltaire. I'm not sure if they are nesting there but they were doing a lot of their typical "keeing" calls which is usually an indication of nervousness about disturbance. Not seen or heard them this year.

We have a nest box at work, Connah's Quay Power Station in North Wales. Not been successful in the last few years, a few deaths for various causes, including a Pigeon fancier poising one a while ago. 🙁 Not seen them yet this season, hope the turn up, beautiful to see them soaring above the station.
