Over the years, the peregrine falcons have delighted visitors with sightings from Chichester Cathedral grounds from March until August, and can also be observed virtually through a livestream on the Cathedral website. 

It is expected that the four eggs will begin to hatch from 5th May 2022.

The peregrine project is collaboratively run by Chichester Cathedral, the Sussex Ornithological Society (SOS), Carnyx and local wildlife enthusiasts David and Janet Shaw who have been observing the birds since 2001.

This year, there will be a series of drop-in Open Days run by David and Janet Shaw (all weather permitting) so that visitors will have a chance to watch the peregrines through telescopes, view live footage, and learn more about the birds and their activities. These Open Days will be taking place every day from 13th June - 3rd July 2022 (apart from 16th June), on the Cathedral’s South West Lawn.
