🎉 Exciting news! Both Norwich Peregrine chicks have fledged! 🌟 MB took her first flight on June 18, followed by MA on June 19. 🕊️💨 Watch them soar at our Peregrine Watchpoint! 📍💚 #PeregrineChicks #Norwich
Thankfully help was on hand and MB was safely rescued. We would like to thank everyone involved in the rescue efforts for their time and for their passion towards these amazing birds
MB fledged from the nest platform last night at around 6.40pm. Unfortunately, MB did land on the ground. She did manage to fly up to a first-floor height but remained there for a long time. The decision was made to retrieve her and return her to the bell tower.
