Peregrines nest mostly on steep cliffs. In fact, an extraordinary feature of these birds is their traditional use of certain ledges for nesting.

For example, successive pairs have nested on the same ledges on the island of Lundy, off the southwest coast of England, since at least 1243.

In remote, relatively undisturbed areas such as the Canadian Arctic, they also choose steep slopes, river cutbanks, and even low rocks and mounds.

In North America, they rarely nest on flat ground or in trees, but such sites are more common in other parts of their range.

Ground- or bog-nesting occur in northern Finland, for example,

and tree-nesting is taking in place in Germany

following recent reintroductions of Peregrines

where the populations had vanished.
