Peregrine falcon chicks hatch at Thames Refinery

A pair of peregrine falcons made our Thames Refinery their home in spring 2023. Peregrine falcons don’t build traditional birds’ nests. They look for a flat area, high up, and there are currently around 30 nesting pairs on some of London’s tallest buildings. They can reach speeds of up to 200mph, making them the fastest creature on the planet!

We are delighted that this year, our nesting pair have hatched three peregrine falcon chicks! They have been checked over and ringed by licensed wildlife experts and we’re pleased to know they are thriving.

There are strict environmental regulations that protect these magnificent birds, and we are making sure to give them plenty of space and respect.
