The pair of Peregrine Falcons at St Albans Cathedral that have captured the public’s interest since they first produced a chick in 2022 are breeding for the third year in succession. One of only five breeding pairs in Hertfordshire, the established couple have been sighted on and around the Cathedral since early spring. Following on from a webcam being installed at the Cathedral last year, which attracted 378k views, the public will once again be able to view all the action, live, from their nesting tray.
Peregrine Falcons normally mate for life and often remain loyal to their nest site each year so the Cathedral is now an established breeding ground. The webcam provides the public with a birds-eye view of the iconic birds of prey and the live feed is available for all to view via the Cathedral’s website.
