SUCCESS FOR CROMER PEREGRINES! The pair of peregrine falcons seen around Cromer in earlier months successfully mated and laid three eggs on a nest platform hastily installed at the top of the tower.
Thanks to a partnership formed by the North East Norfolk Bird Club (NENBC) with Cromer Parochial Church Council, Cromer Museum and Hawk & Owl Trust.
A CCTV 50" monitor was installed in the church lounge/cafe, where church members and visitors are welcome. This is not available during services (9.30am-10.45am Weds. and 8.30am-12.15 Sun).
Peregrines are a protected species and disturbing their nest site is an offence, therefore the tower is closed to visitors until further notice.
The adult birds proved to be excellent parents and generated lots of interest with locals and visitors. The first chick hatched on 25 May with the other two following on 27 May. Cromer peregrines are possibly the latest to hatch in the UK and the chicks were ringed earlier this month to enable future sightings of the birds to be recorded when they fledge and leave the church.
