  Another Year without a Web cam
  Latest update: a new home for the falcons
  We've created a new temporary home for the peregrine falcons. The clock tower isn't safe for them during the ongoing restoration work, so a brand new nest has been created on the roof of Tetrosyl, just across the road. The safety, wellbeing and health of the nesting peregrine falcons remains a key priority.
  
  To encourage the birds to nest in this location, nesting material has been taken from their previous nest in the clock tower and added to the new nest. The birds have been regularly seen on this roof, as well as St Chad's Church, so we hope they'll remain in the area when nesting season starts in March.
  
  We've worked with a renowned ecologist and the Manchester Raptor Society to ensure these changes should not have a detrimental effect on the birds' welfare.
  
  Unfortunately, we aren't able to provide live footage of the birds through the webcam. We'll share further updates on social media so as nature lovers you're reassured on the birds' wellbeing and can continue to follow the lives of falcons throughout the nesting period and beyond. You can access our social media accounts using the Twitter hashtag #rochfalcons or on Facebook. You can also join the chat on the RSPB website.
  
  We'd like to extend a huge thank you to Tetrosyl for working with us to accommodate the falcons.
  
  We hope the falcons will return to their previous home in the clock tower when the building reopens in 2023.

  Kind regards, Ann
