Wakefield Peregrine Nest Box Cam
OnlinePerched high on Wakefield Cathedral, this intimate camera looks straight down into the nest box where a resident pair of peregrine falcons raises its brood each year. The weathered timber ledge, scattered with feathers and prey remains, offers a rare close-up of one of Britain's fastest raptors at home.

A Falcon's Eyrie Above the City
High on the tower of Wakefield Cathedral in West Yorkshire, a specially built nest box gives one of the UK's most-watched peregrine falcon pairs a safe ledge on which to raise their young.
Inside the Nest Box
The fixed camera peers directly into the shallow timber tray, where feathers and prey remains accumulate around the scrape as the falcons return from hunting flights over the city below.
The Wakefield Peregrine Project
Run by local volunteers and conservationists, the Wakefield Peregrine Project shares this close-up view of the nest box alongside a wider spire camera, helping the public follow the birds' breeding cycle season after season.
A Cathedral with Wild Neighbours
Peregrine falcons have adopted cathedral towers and tall city buildings across Britain as substitute cliff ledges, and Wakefield's resident pair is one of the best-documented examples of this urban raptor success story.
