A Life with Peregrines
Kate Hall

A Life with Peregrines is a 12-minute documentary following George, who has spent the past 40 years monitoring Peregrine Falcons across the Scottish Borders. As demand for wild birds in the illegal falcon-racing trade grows, with single birds fetching up to £250,000, George’s work has become increasingly urgent. Now approaching retirement, he is determined to pass on his knowledge and legacy to his protégé, Rebecca. Set against a backdrop of Scotland’s rugged landscapes, this intimate short film explores themes of conservation, dedication, and passing the baton after a lifetime spent protecting a species under threat.
