Hi, can anyone recommend where i could view peregrine falcons and ospreys in cheshire or the surrounding areas such as the wirral?

Ospreys are pasage birds & best place is probably the Wirral although Marbury Country park have had 2 this year. No one should divulge Peregrine breeding sites but a good place is Parkgate where they can often be seen in winter hunting ove the salt marsh

Winter Peregrines can be seen most days at Parkgate, West Kirby shore and off Kings Gap, Hoylake. Just a little request, if you're watching from West Kirby or Hoylake over the high tide can you make sure you stay well away from the tideline to prevent disturbance to the roosting waders. I'm sure you wouldn't create any disturbance, but there are more and more people trying to get so close to them that I wonder what they have optics, bloody big lenses for. Here ends todays rant!

p.s. hope you get some brilliant views, Peregrine can be stunning!
