Abstract
A survey of quarry-nesting Peregrines conducted in the Republic of Ire land between 1991 and 1993 estimated that 65 quarries were occupied by Peregrines. There was a marked east/west gradient in occupancy with m ost occupied quarries in the east. Occupation of quarries by Peregrine s is primarily influenced by cliff height.
