Peregrines at Heathrow

Yay!! well done benjamin, keep enjoying and posting.....

Is that a guttering or a solid ledge type, that siiting on?

Think it's a solid ledge. They sit there and watch the pigeons and appear to be watching me. I tell everyone about them and some people are interested . Might even start going there on my days off !

Interesting, wonder if further along they have their nest.
although these sites have nests made for them, it will give you an idea of areas to look for nest.if you manage on your day off.(corners or cranny nooks)

Thanks for the photo, Benjamin. A record shot is a record--doesn't have to be a close-up or arty! Peregrines do seem to watch everything in their territory and when they stare at you, some say they're giving you 'the death stare' because their brow ridges give them such a fierce look. I love it when they do that. But actually, though I could easily be wrong, I believe they are just keeping track of anything alive in their territory--it could be lunch, or a threat, or it might be nothing to worry about, but they do appear to watch everything.

That's brilliant I had no idea there were peregrines in Woking or Kingston until just now . Thanks for sharing that with me .

Currently keeping a close watch on Bournemouth (third egg due) & Wakefield for their first!
There are active Peregrine nests all over the country Benjamin, some with live streaming & others with static video recording gear monitored & published by avid watchers!
I intend to start a thread to encompass egg stats for the various nests I have been following not already covered in individually to keep them under one roof!

Are the airside safety people at Heathrow not having nightmares about falcons getting sucked into jet engines?

EDIT: Sorry, just saw the date on this, do ignore me please. Bloomin' internet rabbit holes ...
