Peregrine falcons make City Chambers spire new home

A pair of peregrine falcons has chosen the Glasgow City Chambers spire as their new home.

The couple, affectionately named Bonnie and Clyde, have already laid their first eggs of the season at the new nest.

Peregrines are typically associated with coastal cliff and it is extremely rare for them to settle in the heart of a busy urban area.

Seven-year-old Bonnie was first spotted in the city at Glasgow Cathedral back in 2020. She and Clyde have been inseparable since 2021.

Volunteers from the Central Scotland Raptor Study Group installed a specially made nest box on the spire in an effort to support the birds.

A nest camera is now in place to closely monitor the pair.
