I caught a feature during Tuesday’s The One Show about a pair of peregrine falcons nesting in the city centre with four chicks.

The birds are apparently the fastest in the world, reaching speeds of 200mph, and have a wingspan of over a metre - so perhaps not what you want divebombing on your lunchtime sandwich.

Nevertheless, the RSPB are monitoring the falcons, which have been nesting there since 2005, and are inviting people to spot them using telescopes in Exchange Square. The square’s big screen is also broadcasting a live feed from the nest from 11am until 6pm every day but Monday.

And the RSPB are asking for name suggestions for the chicks - Morrissey, Johnny, Andy and Mike, anyone?

It appears that peregrine nests in towns are cities are becoming more common too, with these five hiding out at Bolton Town Hall. An appeal for residents at Manchester Town Hall has, I guess, been less successful.
