deanflute 550 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 The place where I'm working at the minute in Sheffield I have a constant view of peregrin falcons. The pictures aren't brilliant but to watch them swooping down on the pigeons is something else. There is a webcam link here http://peregrine.group.shef.ac.uk/peregrines/mobile/index.html 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
