Fastest bird in the world nests on top of an old clinker silo
Despite demolition work taking place in the area, a pair of peregrine falcons, the fastest birds in the world, decided that the top of an old clinker silo at a CEMEX UK plant in the Midlands was going to be ‘home’ for them and their future chicks.
In March, unaware of the peregrines’ presence, contractors decided to measure up the nearby stacker reclaimer for a new external staircase. The falcons protected their nearby home by dive bombing the contractors. The work ceased on the reclaimer and surrounding area to protect them and employees on the site are eagerly awaiting sitings of the chicks.
