Hull Peregrines
As many of you will know a regular site in Hull for these birds has been Spillers Tower. Unfortunately due to re-development this has now been demolished. The group would like to know what has happened to the birds, have there been sightings in any other areas of the city. There are mentions of sightings at Hull Royal Infirmary, are they still seen on the Humber Bridge towers?
If you have seen or heard of any sightings send us details by e-mail to
wildlife@themanor555.fsworld.co.uk
or leave a note in the members hut at Tophill Low Nature reserve
