Week event could not have gone better. After the indoor lecture, we were treated to superb views of the male Peregrine from the locally nesting pair. The roof terrace at Tullamore Parish Centre provided an ideal vantage point, allowing us to observe this iconic species in its urban habitat.

The story of this family of #Peregrines has been unfolding over the past year and was pieced together by observations from local residents, ongoing interactions and forensic surveillance of prey carcasses .

Thanks to Rev Joseph Gallagher and Tom Whelan for hosting us and all who joined.
