"Learn more about Yorkshire's rare Peregrine Falcons

Local bird watchers are invited to learn more about the history of Yorkshire's first urban breeding pair of Peregrine Falcons at a special talk next month.

 

The public event will give nature enthusiasts the unique opportunity to talk to members of staff from the University of Sheffield who pioneered the specialist breeding platform at St George's Church which has encouraged the rare birds to nest in the city for the first time.

 

The Peregrines are currently caring for three chicks who are preparing to fly the nest, after successfully breeding for the second year.

 

The chicks every movements are captured live on web cam, which has received more than 200,000 visits from bird watchers across the world, while the @peregrines2013 twitter account has more than 1,000 followers.

 

The talk will be hosted by Professor David Wood, from the University's Department of Hispanic Studies and Chair of the Sheffield Bird Study Group, Energy Manager Phil Riley and Jim Lonsdale from Estates and Facilities Management, who were all instrumental in launching the nesting platform in 2010.

 

Professor Wood said: "Peregrines are one of the most spectacular species in Britain, traditionally associated with remote sea cliffs and inaccessible sites, and to be able to see them in urban Sheffield is an absolute privilege."

 

The talk will take place at St George's Church on Mappin Street on Monday June 3, 2013 from 7pm to 8pm. Entry is free and everyone is welcome."
