The fastest bird in the world, the peregrine falcon is a welcome recent arrival to London’s skies. Normally nesting in coastal cliffs and in mountain areas, peregrine have taken to breeding on tall buildings and preying on a wide range of birds including pigeons. One or two pairs are known to breed each year in the capital, and they can sometimes be seen around the chimney of the Tate Modern, or over Regent’s Park.
well, there’s another pair in the barbican. i watch them out of my window. they perch on top of a large building (streaks of brd sht all down one side) and they catch pigeons.
