THREE of the four Peregrine Falcon chicks have now fledged.

The fourth has made its way out onto the perch and is very close to flying, Worcester Cathedral has confirmed.

A spokesperson said: "It's such an exciting time with the fledglings swooping around the Cathedral. Thanks to everyone that has been to see them.

"We're observing them closely and getting to know their personalities before we decide on their names, but will announce them very soon."

Another drop-in session on College Green has been organised for Thursday, June 9 between 10am and noon to view them through a scope as they find their wings.

This is the first time in 12 years there have been chicks at the Cathedral. This is the time they learn to fly and hunt.

There's no need to book for the drop-in sessions. Visitors can just turn up and learn all about the chicks' progress.
