St Albans Cathedral has taken its live webcam of a peregrine falcon nest down, after the birds fledged and left the premises.

Two adult peregrines, named Alban and Boudica following a public vote, had been nesting in the Cathedral's tower.

In May, three chicks hatched at the location, and were caught live on the webcam.

The falcons were believed to be one of just five falcon pairs in Hertfordshire, and had been seen on and around the Cathedral since early Spring for breeding.

The pair had initially been spotted in May 2022, but returned in 2023 after a nesting tray had been installed for them.

A short statement on the Cathedral's website reads: "As our three peregrine's have now fledged, we have taken the webcam offline."
