Aylesbury Peregrine Nest, Camera 2

A Closer Angle on the Nest Box

This second camera at the Aylesbury peregrine site looks straight down into the nest box built high on County Hall tower, complementing the wider view from the site's other feed. The tight framing reveals every detail of the platform: the plywood walls, the scattered down feathers, and the remains of past hunts left by the adult falcons.

Raising the Next Generation

From this close vantage, the growth of the downy chicks is easy to follow as they develop from hatchlings into fledgling-ready juveniles. Adults arrive periodically with prey, and the box's rim shows the wear of a season's worth of feeding and activity.

Falcons Above a County Town

Beyond the box, the rooftops and streets of Aylesbury stretch into the distance, a reminder of how peregrine falcons have made a home among the buildings of Buckinghamshire's county town rather than the cliffs their species traditionally favors.
