SOLD OUT - How to Spot an Urban Peregrine

Although tickets are sold out, there will be limited drop in spaces available on the day.

Join Dr Ed Drewitt for a fascinating, family-friendly introduction to the world of urban peregrine falcons. Drawing on 28 years of research in Bristol, Ed shares remarkable insights into how these apex predators have adapted to city life, including what they eat, how they hunt, and where their young disperse after fledging. You’ll also learn how to spot peregrines in your own neighbourhood, with expert tips on behaviour, habitats, and the best places to look. Perfect for all ages, this engaging session will open your eyes to the hidden wildlife thriving above our streets.
