ENTHUSIASTS wanting to see the world’s fastest animal breed and hunt are being invited to a viewpoint opening in the Yorkshire Dales on Saturday.
The opening will mark the start of the 15th year of the hugely popular Malham Peregrine Project, a partnership between the National Park Authority and the RSPB.
The free public viewpoint is at the base of Malham Cove, where information assistants and a team of volunteers will be on hand to show people the birds through telescopes. It will be open from April 1 to July 30, Saturdays to Wednesdays.
Interest is expected to be high, not least because the Malham peregrines have been starring in Channel 5’s A Year In The Wild documentary series set in Yorkshire.
The Malham Peregrine Project is designed to enthuse local residents and visitors to the Dales about the spectacular wildlife that can be seen with a particular focus on the falcons.
