The successful 2007 breeding season saw two peregrine chicks fledging in late June. The tower of Derby Cathedral is still used by the parent birds almost every day. This has continued right through the winter until the start of breeding season, around Feb/March 2008. Each day they often return to their nest ledge, just after dawn - so a visit between 7am-9am local time may reveal one of the parents. Notice that the nest scrape on the left hand side is already being well-maintained in readiness for next season.
