At this point in time, Sussex has a healthy population of Peregrine Falcons and it is possible to see them anywhere in the county, if you are walking on the downs, or even visiting Brighton or Chichester city centres you will have an opportunity to see these fabulous birds. Pictured above are four young Peregrine chicks (courtesy of Graham Roberts) at Chichester Cathedral. During the breeding season the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) show live pictures from the nest in the Cloisters Café and it's free to visit. Listed below are links to some useful web sites.

Peregrine Falcons and their nesting sites are protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, for more information CLICK HERE
