Two tiny peregrine falcon chicks have been welcomed into the world on the spire of Leicester Cathedral.

Two eggs laid in March successfully hatched on the bell tower on Thursday morning for a breeding pair of the birds of prey.

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

Two further eggs laid more than 30 days ago are yet to hatch.

Leicester Peregrines group volunteers said the news was "exciting".

David Gray, from the cathedral's peregrines project, spoke to Kelly Hinch.
