Four peregrine falcon chicks have now hatched at a tower in Salisbury Cathedral.

The first new arrivals of 2024 were caught on camera by a dedicated webcam monitoring the nest which can be viewed online.

The team at the cathedral say the last remaining egg should hatch in the next few days.

It's the little wins that count.

Appropriate that the falcons were born at a Catholic cathedral, given that they are predators.
