Both birds are being tested by government officials following a bird flu outbreak in Leicester
A second peregrine falcon that was nesting at Leicester Cathedral has been found dead.
The Leicestershire and Rutland Ornithological Society said the body of the juvenile bird - known as TJC - was found on Wednesday after "looking rather poorly" for a few days.The LROS said government officials were working to establish the cause of both deaths.The LROS said its body was found close to Leicester Royal Infirmary and was collected by the RSPCA.The LROS said it was "very probable" the cause of death was linked to avian flu.
Jim Graham, LROS president, said: "At the moment it's more of an assumption because of what has been going on in the city with the avian flu"We need to wait until the results come through but it seems a bit too much of a coincidence."He said it was one of the worst outcomes for the breeding programme this year after already losing a male peregrine falcon this summer after he became injured.
