Meet the fluffy new arrivals in Leamington Town Hall

Fluffy new arrivals can now been seen on the Peregrine Falcon webcams in Leamington Town Hall.

On March 2, the webcams showing the Peregrine Falcons nesting in Leamington’s Town Hall, were turned on for the public.

From then on, people have been able to watch the adults through every stage – from making their scrape in the nest box to laying their four eggs.

The first chick hatched on April 28 and was followed by number two and three over the next couple of days.

Philippa Arnold, membership engagement officer, who oversees the Peregrine Project for Warwickshire Wildlife Trust, said: “Unfortunately, it looks as though egg number four isn’t going to hatch, although the parents are doing a fantastic job in looking after the three chicks they do have – all three seem to be healthy and are being fed very well.

"I have to say a massive 'thank you' to the volunteers that control and manage the camera for us – they once again have managed to capture some fantastic footage over the last couple of weeks.

"I, like all the regular webcam viewers, look forward to seeing what the next few weeks bring and will have my fingers crossed that all three chicks successfully fledge around June”.

The nest box and webcams were installed back in 2017 by Warwickshire Wildlife Trust in partnership with Warwick District Council and Baydale Control Systems, with the cameras being sponsored by Lockwoods Ski and Outdoor.

The Peregrines have been watched by viewers across the world for the past couple of years.
