The motion

That this House congratulates the Surrey Bird Club and the Woking Peregrine Project on the recent success of the peregrine falcons nesting at Export House in Woking; notes that the installation of a nest box in 2016 has supported the return of these remarkable birds of prey to the town centre; further notes that the resident pair have laid an exceptional clutch of five eggs in 2026, exceeding the usual three to four eggs and marking a significant milestone for the project; recognises the vital role of volunteers and conservationists in monitoring and protecting the birds, including through ringing chicks to track their movements; celebrates the recovery of the Peregrine Falcon in the United Kingdom following historic declines in the 20th century; acknowledges the importance of urban habitats such as tall buildings in supporting wildlife; and commends all those involved for promoting biodiversity and inspiring the local community in Woking and across the UK.
