-
The peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus), also known simply as the peregrine is a cosmopolitan bird of prey (raptor) in the family Falconidae.
-
The peregrine is a highly successful example of urban wildlife in much of its range, taking advantage of tall buildings as nest sites and an abundance of prey such as pigeons and ducks. Both the English and scientific names of this species mean "wandering falcon", referring to the migratory habits of many northern populations.
-
For several years now, the town has been blessed with breeding pairs of these amazing raptor. A noteworthy pair nesting and successfully raising successive family broods from the high roof of St. Mary’s Church.

“From an early age, I discovered a natural love for drawing and art. Throughout my life and career, my artistic side has never left me and I’ve always known it would become my main vocation at some stage. So, here we are. I can now embark properly on this journey and my passion for art in watercolours. The beauty of any subject, be it wildlife, landscapes, portraits or everyday scenes, captivates my imagination - Each brushstroke breathing life, colour, and movement into my creations. Through my art, I aim to share the vivid emotions and stories within each piece. Welcome to my world of vibrant creations!”
