Over the winter 24/25 SSEN repainted the pylons in the area and removed the nest in the process.
This year there have been several sightings of Peregrines in the local area but we didn’t know where or if they had bred.
Recently, Paul Rainsden and Simon Booker had found an adult female Peregrine with 2 well grown young in the South Stoke area. The female had a green ring on. Last year’s female also sported a green ring on her left leg with the no 66 on. Although we can’t confirm yet, we believe this to be the same female and has nested somewhere in the local area.
The adult female was ringed as a chick in Brighton in 2014.
