There is wildness right in the heart of the city. High on the ledges of the tallest buildings, the peregrine and tiercel come to lay their eggs.
The compelling story of these fierce, beautiful birds.
As urban development encroaches more and more on wild areas, many species have to adapt to survive. One species that has adapted to city living is the peregrine falcon. Falcons normally nest on high cliffs
but in many cities across the world they can be found nesting on tall buildings.
Since 1991, from August to November, a pair of peregrine falcons has nested in the heart of the city of Melbourne. Peregrines in the City tells the story of these falcons as they prepare their nest, lay
and incubate their eggs, and care for the eyases until their first flight.
