About us
The London Peregrine Partnership (LPP) was formed by David Johnson, Rose Farmer and Stuart Harrington in 2009 when it was realised that there was a specific need for an organisation and a website that would help ensure the Peregrine Falcon’s protection and breeding success in London.
We are a small voluntary group who have been helping Peregrine Falcons since 2003 when the first Central London pair attempted to breed.
We work in partnership with other organisations that share our objectives, such as the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit and the RSPB. The urban Peregrine’s preference for tall buildings means that we work closely with building/estates managers providing them with advice and assistance concerning the bird’s needs and behaviour in order that they can fulfil their responsibilities. Additionally, we also work with individuals and community groups who are keen to help in the monitoring of their local Peregrine nest site.
We created the Website as a point of contact for anyone needing advice or information regarding Peregrines in London. If you wish to contact us please don’t hesitate as we always treat any information with great sensitivity.
Who we are
David Johnson: Peregrine Falcon Consultant and Natural England Schedule 1 License holder for Peregrines in Metropolitan London.
Tony Duckett: Peregrine Falcon Consultant and Schedule 1 Licence holder Accredited Agent.
Stuart Harrington: Communications Officer.
Rose Farmer: Honorary Secretary.
Acknowledgements
We would like to thank everyone who has so willingly contributed and offered their help to the website especially fellow LPP members, Margaret Larkin, Adrian Morgan and Tony Duckett. It was inspiring to realise that because of their love of the Peregrine Falcon so many people wanted to help. We would also like to specifically mention Andy Fisher and David Flint, from the Metropolitan Police Wildlife Crime Unit, whose support and encouragement was instrumental in the creation of the website and Denis Corley, Peregrine Falcon expert and friend, whose encouragement and contributions were greatly appreciated.
