Love is in the air!: the Peregrines at St. Lukes

Since just before Valentine’s Day our pair of Peregrine Falcons has been spotted swooping around West Norwood railway station and circling and perching on St. Luke’s Church tower. We say our pair because unlike many other birds, there is strong evidence that Peregrines mate for life and return to the same nesting spot annually.

The photo was taken earlier this week; we always look up when walking past St. Luke’s but have not yet been fortunate enough to spot the pair. Let’s hope they successfully produce chicks this year. See if you can spot the pair when walking in West Norwood town centre.
