Peregrine Falcon

The peregrine falcon is a magnificent bird of prey that has captured the attention and admiration of people for centuries. One particular peregrine falcon has made a home at St. Chad's Church in Kirkby, where it has been observed for years.

The peregrine falcon is known for its incredible speed and agility, and is considered one of the fastest birds in the world, capable of diving at speeds of over 200 mph. They are also known for their keen eyesight, which allows them to spot prey from great distances.

St. Chad's Church in Kirkby has proven to be an ideal location for the peregrine falcon, as it provides a high vantage point for the bird to perch and survey its surroundings. The church's tall spire offers a perfect lookout point for the falcon to spot prey, which can include other birds such as pigeons and starlings.
