Aren't birds brilliant!

 

...and we didn't have to wait long!

The final chick has hatched on top of Chichester Cathedral today, making it a full house for the city's famous peregrines.

Join us at our viewpoint to see the chicks at their cutest – all white and fluffy.

The peregrines' latest offspring brings the number of chicks born on top of the cathedral to 26. If all survive, this will be the eighth family the pair will have raised together.

Hi Maureen - the Chichester peregrines have never been named, but unofficially we do call then Mr and Mrs P!

Mr & Mrs P must be very proud of their little brood. They are fairly growing and their antics are so funny. You are all doing a wonderful job. To use your phrase 'AREN'T BIRDS BRILLIANT'!!!!!!!!!!!!
