I have been studying urban peregrines for the past 25 years, looking at what they eat and where young travel once they leave the nest. I am currently doing a part time PhD on my long term diet research at the University of Bristol.

​

My book 'Urban Peregrines', the first of its kind, is available to buy here.

 

While working on peregrines I have helped confirm that:

 

• Urban peregrines hunt at night in towns and cities taking nocturnal migrants such as woodcock, little grebe and water rails. My paper published in British Birds explains more.

 

• Many colour-ringed peregrines hatched from nests in the west of England head to the east and north-east of the UK. See this link for my public access paper recently published in Ringing & Migration.

 

• Over 100 species of bird are eaten by urban peregrines from kingfishers to blackcaps; feral/domesticated pigeons make up a third of the urban peregrine diet.
