A wildlife trust says three peregrine falcon chicks born in May have flown their cathedral nest in what has been described as a "real boost for nature".

Since Boudica and Alban first bred at St Albans Cathedral, the pair have raised 13 chicks through to fledging.

The Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust said that was "some achievement, and adds to the ongoing recovery of the species in the UK".
