Quickline is playing a vital role in monitoring one of nature’s fastest creatures, the peregrine falcon, above Lincoln Cathedral using high-speed broadband connectivity to watch birds in real-time.
Thanks to the altnet provider, bird lovers worldwide can watch these falcons easily, blending high-speed connectivity with wildlife preservation.
The project began in 2019 when researchers from the University of Lincoln set up cameras to observe the resident peregrines.
A Quickline broadband cabinet, situated in the cathedral’s Bell Chamber, provided an opportunity to livestream footage and a direct connection supplied by the rural broadband provider, enabled high quality streaming of the falcons’ daily lives.
Since then, the cameras have captured many moments, from the hatching of new chicks to the dramatic arrival of a new female in 2023 after the previous resident, one of the UK’s oldest recorded wild peregrines, died.
