2026 Peregrine Activity

UPDATE: 09/07/26 We hardly see the youngsters on camera now, check out our Facebook Group for updates and photos being posted by the many fans of this amazing family! Wild Marlow Group

UPDATE: 07/07/26 Lots of wing flapping continuing, building up strength preparing to take their first flights YouTube Clip 

UPDATE: 06/07/26 The youngsters have made it up onto the parapet ledge, captured by David Bevan YouTube Clip 

UPDATE: 03/07/26 They have changed so much – won’t be long before we see their first flights

UPDATE: 25/06/26 Mum and Dad still doing a great job with the regular prey deliveries

UPDATE: 21/06/26 Now the chicks are wandering about, we are seeing much less of them on the monitoring cameras YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 19/06/26 The chicks are very curious and have started exploring the ledge the platform is on YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 17/06/26 A big day for the chicks as they were ringed under licence. They now support a metal BTO ring and an orange colour ring to help with identification after they fledge. Ringing performs vital data regarding trends and populations for this Schedule 1 protected species. Such a privilege to be able to get so close to these amazing creatures YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 16/06/26 The feisty little chicks are getting a lot less polite at mealtimes! YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 15/06/26 Today saw two of the chicks trying out some self-feeding from the prey debris on the platform YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 14/06/26 Pin feathers really visible in the chicks YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 11/06/26 With how fast these chicks are growing, it’s tricky to keep them huddled together YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 08/06/26 Chicks are starting to totter about YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 05/06/26 We’ve noticed a lot less brooding with this family than previous ones we’ve watched. Perhaps due to the warmer temperatures because of the later second attempt

UPDATE: 04/06/26 All is well on the platform

UPDATE: 03/06/26 The chicks are just one week old, but their growth rate is huge YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 02/06/26 You have to feel for the adults when the weather is this wet – these chicks still need very regular feeds to survive. At least the little ones can stay dry under the roof and brooding keeps them warm

UPDATE: 01/06/26 Ring-necked parakeet for breakfast this morning

UPDATE: 30/05/26 The chicks are pretty wobbly, tucking into their breakfast  YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 29/05/26 The third egg hatched in the early hours this morning. Mum and Dad doing a great job with regular feeds YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 28/05/26 Wonderful news we have been waiting for – two of the eggs hatched overnight, less than 5 hours apart YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 22/05/26 Just a few more days to wait….

UPDATE: 18/05/26 Limited activity to report as the pair are diligently brooding the 3 eggs. We expect to see hatching from the 25th is the eggs are viable

UPDATE: 12/05/26 Great to see regular prey items being produced to keep the pair in tip top condition, before the hard work really starts YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 09/05/26 Brooding duty going very well

UPDATE: 04/05/26 Female does the lion’s share of the brooding and seems quite grumpy with the male when he turns up late morning with breakfast! YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 03/05/26 All is well on the nesting platform, both adults feeding well and brooding the three eggs. 

UPDATE: 29/04/26 Good to see both parents taking turn to brood the eggs, size difference in male and female quite obvious in this clip, the female being the larger YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 26/04/26 A third egg was laid YouTube Clip

UPDATE:  24/04/26 The male peregrine went AWOL all night, showing up quite late in the morning, to a very unimpressed female – looks like he’s in the doghouse YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 24/04/26 The female observed and filmed by local birder David Bevan, being very vocal – YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 23/04/26 A second egg was observed YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 21/04/26 Surprise surprise, a peregrine female laid an egg on the platform! YouTube Clip

UPDATE: 18/04/26 Unknown peregrine falcon seen on the nesting platform cameras ‘evicting’ the brooding pigeons
