PEREGRINE FALCONS
These birds are on the up and up in the British countryside and they seem to be increasingly taking over our towns and cities too. One family of peregrines in Worcester city centre have caused quite a stir, drawing up to 500 visitors a day. We find out what these new urbanites are up to.
These rare creatures have been getting a helping hand from Butterfly Conservation, who have been managing habitat and reintroducing butterflies to some sites. We find out the latest news.
