Each year since 2012 a pair of peregrine falcons has nested on top of the British Telecomm tower in the centre of Stoke-on-Trent (Hanley). For the first two years the eggs were infertile. They reared their first youngsters in 2014 (5), then 4 in 2015, and 3 last year and this year.

The nest site is just over a mile from where I live, and occasionally a young peregrine has been seen in my garden.
 
I lived in the middle of Hanley in 2010-2011, and remember seeing a peregrine occasionally on that tower. Really good to hear they are now successfully breeding :)
