New Loughborough home for peregrine falcons
Available for over a year
A nesting site for peregrine falcons has been installed on Loughborough's highest building. It's the first nesting box in the town, on top of the tower of All Saints Church. The site was chosen after Andy Clarke from the Loughborough Peregrine Project saw the birds were using the tower as a place to eat their prey. The birds are a protected species in the UK, although in recent years numbers have been growing in urban areas. Âé¶¹Éç Leicester reporter Helen McCarthy climbed the 126 steps to the top of the tower to find out more.
