Peregrine Project - St Wulfram's 2026 Blog

Welcome to the St Wulfram's Peregrine Webcam 2026.

This page is regularly updated with the latest news from the St Wulfram’s Peregrine Webcam. The Lincolnshire Bird Club would like to thank Alan Ball and Bob Sheppard for their hard work in installing the cameras at St Wulfram’s, with technical support from Chris Skipper. Thanks are also due to Elaine Chambers for her help in resolving any issues at the church. The Lincolnshire Bird Club has funded all of the cameras at St Wulfram’s.

Operating a webcam at a peregrine nest in the UK requires strict compliance with wildlife legislation, particularly the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Peregrine Falcons (Falco peregrinus) are listed on Schedule 1, making it an offence to intentionally or recklessly disturb birds at or near an active nest without an appropriate licence from Natural England (or the relevant statutory body in other UK nations). All camera installation and operation at St Wulfram’s is therefore undertaken under licence, with works carefully timed and managed to avoid disturbance. The project operates under a BTO disturbance licence.

6th April 2026


The female, currently on incubation duties, takes a brief moment to shuffle and scratch before resettling on the eggs. Notably, she carefully keeps her talons tucked in and controlled beneath her body, ensuring there is no risk of damaging the clutch. This delicate behaviour highlights the precision and instinctive care birds show during incubation, where even the smallest movement is managed to protect the developing eggs.

Change over time, look at the difference in size between the leaving male and the arriving female. We expect her to produce the next egg very soon...

And, the third egg arrives at 17.07hrs. At first glimpse it is difficult to see but there are two under her chest and as she moves it reveals the third behind her. Honest!!
