The second peregrine falcon chick has now hatched at Norwich Cathedral.

The on-going saga of the historic city landmark's resident falcons is being watched by nature enthusiasts via a webcam, and this morning just after 8am the two hatched chicks could be clearly seen.

The growing family are living on a nesting platform installed by the Hawk and Owl Trust on the cathedral spire.

In March the mother falcon laid four eggs - two of them are now hatched and the other two are expected to hatch very soon.

Leanne Thomas, the trust's education manager, said it was likely all the eggs would hatch within 48 hours of each other.

She said: 'It is fantastic that these amazing birds have bred on such a historic building in the city and it will be wonderful to be able to watch the chicks growing thanks to the technology of the webcams.'

Once hatched it will be five to six weeks until the chicks begin to fly.

The Hawk and Owl Trust is running a watch point at the cathedral where people can view the birds through telescopes. This will run each day in May when the weather is fine from 10am until 5pm.
