High above Glasgow on the Gilbert Scott Tower Peregrines are nesting and successfully fledging chicks.
The city is an amazing place for the world's fastest animal to make a home.
This nature success story has involved a lot of hard work by the University of Glasgow, RSPB Scotland and the Scottish Ornithologist's Club. In this video those involved give an insight into what they've been doing to help and how it's felt to be part of this special project.
The Glasgow Peregrine Project brings together the city’s conservation bodies and is led by the University of Glasgow, RSPB Scotland and the Scottish Ornithologists’ Club. Ringing relied on the expert support of the Clyde Ringing Group and Scottish Raptor Study Group

I live near Newcastle and about 3 years ago |I was cutting the grass, I bent over to empty the grass box and i suddenly got hit in the back of the head, I thought it was my mate carrying on! It was a Peregrine with a woodpigeon in its claws, laying at my feet, it let go and they both flew away! lol

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful success story 🤗 I have been watching PF in Orange, Australia, but how fantastic to see them here in Scotland 😄 And very close to home 😉 Keep up the wonderful work you all do and I pray these four have successful fledges, stay safe, healthy and strong 🙏 Wishing they each raise strong, healthy families of their own 🤗🥰

Ok, this is wonderful, but a problem. I work there. I just won’t stop looking at the skies now. And if I get to George Square, I’ll be looking for a falcon to go shopping for a family size pigeon!

This year, they built a nest box for them which they used and had I think two chicks. I'm a zoology student at the university and I've seen footage of them but never seen them yet myself!

i think there is a kestrel near Glasgow harbour! Saw it hovering for prey sometimes, once i even saw it dived at the turf right next to kurb!

We've also had Peregrines nesting in Preston city centre in Lancashire for several years, it's magic watching and hearing them.

What a lovely insight into the successful story of the Peregrines & continuing from Spingwatch program. The next time I'm in George Square I'll look out for them.
