A date with nature

The latest news from our Date With Nature projects around the UK. 

Peregrine chicks soaring high over Cardiff

All three peregrine chicks from the clock tower nest on City Hall have successfully taken their first flights, and have been seen soaring over the city centre, practicing their new flying skills.

Even though the chicks are almost as big as their parents, they still have a lot to learn.

Over the next two months, they will continue to use the clock tower nest as a base but will spend more time learning to fly and hunt expertly just like their parents.

See this fantastic bird family for yourself through telescopes and binoculars set up at our viewpoint most days outside City Hall, until the end of August.
