Breeding habitat: steep cliffs, sea cliffs, tall buildings, power stations, bridges, church towers. The Peregrine builds no nest of its own — it lays its eggs directly on a cliff ledge, in an old raven's nest or in a sand scrape on a building.
Breeding season: April–July. The female lays 3–4 eggs and incubates for 29–33 days. The young are fledged after 35–42 days and stay with the parents for a further 4–6 weeks to learn hunting technique.
