Peregrine falcon videos
Watch popular BBC peregrine films, a London hunting sequence and Nottingham nest-camera footage, with links to the original YouTube uploads.
Start with a London hunting sequence, then compare flight footage with life at a Nottingham nest. The two BBC archive films have each attracted more than two million views; the local nest clip is included for its UK interest, rather than its audience size. This is a small selection, not a popularity ranking.
These are recorded videos, not live sightings. For current camera feeds, use our UK webcam directory. Hunting footage includes pursuit of prey.
Hunting over London
BBC Studios · Inside the Perfect Predator · published 2011
The BBC describes this sequence as a peregrine diving over London in pursuit of a pigeon. Watch how the bird changes its wing position during the chase. It is a useful introduction to the hunting dive discussed in our peregrine facts.

A bird's-eye view of flight
BBC Studios · Animal Camera · published 2009
Onboard-camera footage compares a peregrine's flight with a goshawk moving through woodland. This is a filmed camera demonstration, not a guide to approaching or handling wild birds. It comes from a British wildlife programme; the upload description does not establish a UK filming location.
For the features you can look for from a public viewpoint, see our identification guide.
Two chicks hatch in Nottingham
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust · Nottingham Trent University project · 2025 archive
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust's project diary links this clip alongside its May 2025 hatching update. It offers a closer view of the nest than an outdoor watch can provide. The recording belongs to the 2025 season and does not show the nest's current status.
