Peregrine falcons being monitored at Leicester Cathedral welcome their first chick of the season
The first peregrine chick of the season has hatched at Leicester Cathedral, cameras have revealed.

Peregrine chicks take about five weeks to grow enough to fly and become independent about two months later. The Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society , which manages the project, has seen failed hatchings for the past three years.The project has suffered a run of bad luck with failed hatchings and fatal infections
The Leicester Peregrine Project has monitored the habits and activities of the birds of prey in Leicester city centre since 2014.On top of this an avian flu outbreak killed three birds last year.
