Can you name the falcon chicks?
WORCESTER'S peregrine falcon chicks have trebled in size since they were born two weeks ago.
The young birds, which people can watch via a live webcam, are still to be officially named by Worcester News readers who can take part in a unique competition.
The RSPB has teamed up with your Worcester News to give you the chance to name the two chicks, and the best names chosen from your suggestions will be given to the birds.
Ross Lawford, peregrine falcon officer for the RSPB, said he was pleased with the chicks progress and hoped to receive a lot more entries to the competition.
To enter, all you have to do is fill out the form in today's Worcester News and either hand it in to the RSPB stall beneath St Andrew's Spire.
You can also text your entries. Start your message with FALCON, leave a space, then send your message to 80360.
Messages cost 25p plus your normal operator text charge. The competition closes at midnight on Friday, May 23. The service is provided by Newsquest Media Group.
Volunteers from the charity will be at the spire until tomorrow and from Wednesday, May 21, until Friday, May 23, to collect your suggested names.
The winner(s) will receive a framed print of a peregrine falcon and an RSPB Handbook of British Birds and also appear in the Worcester News. To watch the chicks, click here.
