Nesting peregrines have thrilled people at Chichester Cathedral since 2002.

Chichester Cathedral peregrines

25 April to 20 June 2009

A bolt from the blue? We're faster than that.

Arrows may have feathers, but they're slow compared to us. Diving to catch prey at up to 200 miles per hour, we are masters of flight.

We like to show off our agility, sometimes flying upside down to catch food dropped by a mate.

Sheer cliffs are our natural home, but the tall spire of Chichester Cathedral makes a perfect roost.

Visit the Cloisters Café to enjoy a close-up view of life in our blustery home. Live pictures and edited highlights from a nestcam show the trials of bringing up our family amid the grand stonework.

And you'll find a host of well-placed telescopes outside to help you spot us on the wing – if you think you're quick enough, that is.

Just turn up - it's free to see us.

When can you see us?

Join us in the Cloisters Café at the Cathedral, daily 10 am-5 pm (4 pm on Sundays), or visit the watchpoint in the Paradise Garden from 5 June.

What's at the site?

The viewpoint has three telescopes for you to use. Live and recorded images of the nest will be shown on the TV. Parking is available in the city centre.

How to find us

The Cathedral is in the pedestrianed centre of Chichester, and within walking distance of Chichester train station and bus station.

Follow signs to town centre and cathedral. RSPB signs will show the way to the viewpoint.
