Chichester Cathedral’s peregrine falcons are preparing for the forthcoming breeding season and have been sighted regularly from the Cathedral grounds.
Over the years, the peregrine falcons have delighted visitors with sightings from the Cathedral grounds from March until August.
The peregrine project is collaboratively run by Chichester Cathedral, the Sussex Ornithological Society (SOS) and local wildlife enthusiasts David and Janet Shaw who have been observing the birds since 2001.
In 2025 there will be a series of drop-in Open Days run by David and Janet Shaw (all weather permitting) so that visitors will have a chance to watch the peregrines through telescopes, view live footage, and learn more about the birds and their activities.
These Open Days will be taking place every day from 7th June - 6th July (except Mondays and Tuesdays), on the Cathedral’s South West Lawn.
