Monitoring Peregrines in Berkshire 2025
17 March 2025 | Patrick Crowley
I am very grateful to birders who reported Peregrines around the county in 2024. Despite there being at least seven established pairs of Peregrines being present in the county, only three pairs raised fledged young. In 2025 we want to:
- Continue to monitor the known pairs of Peregrines
- Follow up as many reports of other Peregrines as possible
- Continue to look for Peregrines on tall buildings, churches or pylons.
We are again asking birders to please continue to report all Peregrine sightings on Berksbirds.co.uk, or directly to Marek Walford on marek@berksbirds.co.uk, or myself on patrick.crowley@btinternet.com, particularly for confidential sites.
- If possible, include information on any distinctive markings, size, missing feathers, or the presence of rings etc, to help identify individual birds.
- Note that reports will not show up on Berksbirds.co.uk from March 15th to August 15th, but Marek Walford and I will be able to see them.
If you feel you can help with searching for Peregrines, please do get in touch with me,
Thank you for your help.
