It's now 24th June and still at least one of the juveniles is using the platform and therefore is visible on the web cams.
Long may it continue!
Peregrine Falcons first nested on Derby's Cathedral, England, in 2006. Our Peregrine Project is now run by a partnership between Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, Derby City Council, Derby Cathedral and the Cathedral Quarter. Here is what's happening in 2025. . .

Many thanks for the new page which will enable all the die-hard followers to post more easily as we watch the juveniles visiting the scrapes😀
I have so many cameras to watch around the country online, the entertainment from these lovely fledglings & parents makes it worth getting up in a morning its amazing how their characters show through love it.
Just looked at Leicestershire Peregrine Webcam & so comical all 3 babies lined up snuggled together in a row, & been reading about the antics they have been getting up & having to be rescued from courtyards & taken back up to the nest site. Most cute & entertaining more so every year thanks to all the support workers/volunteers that continue to keep these wonderful birds safe
This our my first year watching a live cam. We didn’t expect to grow so attached to the family! Every time we get to see at least one of them, our day gets better
An update on St Albans chicks, growing well as this feed at 09.40 shows ...

So pleased you are enjoying watching their progress, the addiction grows year on year!
This is my footage, a blip called me anonymous!!
Does anyone know where the St Alban's nest is relative to the size of the building, they sound very close to people and traffic from the background noises.
Wherever they are it is extremely windy, so noisy in fact it's hard to hear any chick noises and gets so irritating that recordings have to be muted!
Not been lucky today in seeing any juveniles or adults in the scrapes!
Nope me neither
Me neither.
Back home ..watching the world go by
Yesterday was a bust… did hear the juveniles cries twice offscreen but no show! Very good to see one adult this morning (and a youngsters’ shouting nearby but the parent isn’t fazed lol)
Haha, we can’t wait. And to read the peregrines have been nesting at the cathedral for almost twenty years, amazing!
They were already given (silly) names by my partner, now we only need to learn how to tell them apart…
It happened so fast, but looked like one of the juveniles got tired of shouting for food and dive bombed the parent perched on the nest and they flew off! No one is back yet
Thursday, 10:00 - I was in my bathroom and I heard a Peregrine calling! A quick look out of the window that there were two Peregines circling together overhead, before drifting away. I'm in north Derby - not far from Uttoxeter Road Cemetary - so these were almost certainly two of the Cathedral birds. Given that it was a bit of Peregrine shouting that first alerted me to the birds, I suspect it was one juvenile and one adult. Moreover, this time last year, the Peregrines became semi-resident on the tower of the nearby St. Luke's church.
Noisy youngster on the nest, but quieter now, think its the female
oh shes gone now 10:59
Yes, that's the juvenile female, with sharper and brighter pale fringing to the wing feathers and a more strongly barred tail compared to her brother.
Back home enjoying the view !
Just noticed that a St Alban's chick is out of the nest, do hope the parent will still feed it ...

All 3 are there now
It made it back as soon as there was the chance of food, unfortunately it was only a leftover scrap
