About Huntly Peregrine Wild Watch

A big North East welcome awaits you all at Huntly Peregrine WildWatch from the wardens, volunteers and our Peregrine Falcons.

Our aim is to protect and encourage breeding of Peregrine Falcons.

We also aim to improve visitors’ knowledge of these birds, using cameras to observe and understand their behaviour. Watch their agility and speed in flight, first hand from the hide.

From your visit, we hope you will gain an understanding of the Falcons’ history and how numbers decreased but are now rising.

Find out more about the history of peregrines at Huntly.
