Thousands of subscribers regularly tune into feather and poo-covered platforms for a sight of a peregrine nesting on its eggs, returning with a freshly caught prey for its chicks, or fledglings taking their tentative first flight. <\/p>\n
It’s not for the squeamish.<\/p>\n
“They are an apex predator who catch and kill live birds on the wing – as such the footage here may contain gory images,” warns Aylesbury Peregrines, where birds perch on the 12th floor of Buckinghamshire Council’s building.<\/p>\n
Lesley Lithins, secretary at Cromer Parish Church in Norfolk, said its nest had become an enormous draw – with more than 1,000 people visiting a day in the summer.<\/p>\n
Although the nest is out of sight, the Cromer Peregrine Project sets up by the adjacent museum every summer so people can take a closer look using monoculars. <\/p>\n
“It’s wonderful to see these creatures so small and watching them grow,” she said.<\/p>\n
“You get a bit obsessed – it’s a great feeling when you see them actually leaving the nest and flying, which is fabulous.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thousands of subscribers regularly tune into feather and poo-covered platforms for a sight of a peregrine nesting on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-602620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
