Four falcon chicks hatch in university tower

Four peregrine falcon chicks have hatched in a tower at the University of Glasgow.

Conservation group the Glasgow Peregrine Project noted the new arrivals last week at the Gilbert Scott Tower.

The group's bird recorder John Simpson told BBC Scotland News that the hatching was "fantastic".

The birds of prey have nested at the university for around two decades and in 2023 a CCTV camera was installed in a bird nesting box there to enable greater observation of the birds.
