An abbey has welcomed its first peregrine falcon chick of 2026, marking its third successful breeding year.
The parents, affectionately known as Mr and Mrs P, first arrived at Pershore Abbey in Worcestershire together in 2021, and have returned each year since.
Following a disastrous year in 2022 that saw heavy rain wash the birds’ eggs away, the abbey constructed a nesting area, known as the Peregrine Palace, which can be watched live on YouTube.
Discussing the new arrival, Canon Claire Lording said: “It is such a privilege to be able to observe the wonder of nature by the way of our two discrete livestream cameras.”
