Woking Peregrines 2021
Welcome back!
If anyone is interested in a copy of the book please contact us via the contact form here. We are currently sold out but would consider another reprint if we get enough interest.
Peregrine falcons have regularly graced the skies above Woking for the last fifteen years, and a new pair of these spectacular birds have recently made the town their home.
The Peregrines have been successfully breeding since 2016, and we are hopeful that we'll have a similar success in 2021. We have a new pair this year, so we look forward to seeing how they get on.
Watch

Peregrines are known to stoop (dive) through the air at speeds of nearly 200mph (320kph) making this protected species the fastest creature on the planet. Read more about the Peregrine Falcon and how this incredible bird of prey started breeding in Woking.
