A male Peregrine also flew over Tesco car park at King Cross last Saturday.

When I see Piece Hall and Peregrine in the same sentence I remember 2 years ago when the staff there reported to the Courier that Peres were nesting in Square Chapel Spire. They printed it. They were kestrels.
I'm sure this report was from a birder, or you wouldn't have passed it on.

Peregrines have been using tall buildings in town for at least the last 10 years and its only a matter of time before they nest somewhere.i often see them around town.The Square Chapple spire is a favoured spot.
