Four peregrine falcon chicks have hatched at Lincoln Cathedral.

Three of the chicks were first spotted by a photographer on 25 May and are now around four weeks old.

The chicks' wooden nesting box is situated about two-thirds of the way up the east-facing side of the main tower.

Bruce Hargrave, tower guide and resident peregrine falcon expert at the cathedral, said seeing the chicks was a "great indicator" for the once-endangered species.
