Chichester Peregrines - Date with Nature

The RPSB has set up cameras to watch the nest and a 30-day incubation means it may be possible to watch the chicks hatch live on 24th April.

The Date with Nature project runs through to 4th July and will see live footage beamed from the nests to a screen in the Cathedral cloisters below.

"This pair of peregrines are doing exceptionally well and we're so pleased it looks like we are going to have another exciting year watching them raise four more chicks. It's a real privilege to be able to see the family progress from such close quarters," said Chris Woolner, of RSPB South East.
