Peregrine falcons lay eggs at cathedral

A pair of peregrine falcons have laid three eggs at a cathedral, just months after four chicks were born there.

Bruce Hargrave, a tower guide, spotted the eggs on a "peregrine cam" at Lincoln Cathedral.

Last June, four chicks hatched in a nesting box about two thirds of the way up the main tower.

Mr Hargrave previously said cathedrals "were a favoured place for birds of prey".

The wooden nesting box was installed in the 1980s by Norman Bonner, a former head carpenter at the cathedral – though peregrines have been recorded there since the 1920s.
