Manchester peregrines named

Taking her inspiration from Manchester and its famous Arndale Centre, Mrs Julie Chesters from Macclesfield has chosen the names Arnie, Dale, Mandy and Chester, for the four peregrine chicks that have become the talk of Manchester over the last few months.

Now well on their way to adulthood, the four chicks - three males and one female – have been the stars of the busy city centre over this year's spring and summer.

It's been great to see how much people have loved seeing these birds. However, there are parts of the UK where birds of prey like peregrines are still being illegally killed. Support our campaign calling for an end to the illegal killing of birds of prey.

It's wonderful when they come into towns. The last couple of years they have nested at the church at the end of our road but they don't seem to have properly nested there this year but then just last week I heard them and then saw them for the 1st time in months. They are wonderful creatures!!
