THE Woking Peregrines have hatched three chicks in their town centre nest.

We can all look online to see their growing progress under the watchful eye of their mum.

Peregrines have been successfully breeding now for the eight years in a nesting box installed by the Woking Peregrine Project (WPP) on the eastern side of the Export House tower block. 

Woking Borough Council is a key partner to the WPP, as owner of the building and as a part of its Natural Woking support for local biodiversity.

Peregrines have raised families there every year since the nest box was installed. The parents have died over the years, but have been replaced naturally by new birds.

The species was on the brink of extinction in the 1960s, at least in lowland England. Despite being endangered, these spectacular birds have regularly graced the skies above Woking since 2001. 

Prepare to be captivated. Thanks to webcams within and around their nest box, we can all view the peregrine family by visiting www.wokingperegrines.com.
