Screeching could be heard, it could almost be mistaken for squeaking from drilling equipment from the building site of charter place.

A passerby spotted this bird of prey hovering whilst squawking at something on the car park roof.

“I thought it was a kestrel, I tried to get to the top floor but it was blocked off as restricted access.”

I noticed the car park adjacent on the other side of the ring road and thought I might get a look from there and then could see everything.”

At first i saw or heard nothing but decided to video, and that’s when I heard the screeching return and then saw it.”

The RSPB said “Buildings and other constructions are increasingly being used by nesting peregrines.”

” Peregrines are territorial, with each territory containing one or more nest sites – this may explain the behaviour of the peregrine towards the builders.”
