Another one of Norwich Cathedral's peregrine falcon chicks has died it has emerged.

The chick was found dead on the ground yesterday and underwent a post-mortem examination today which revealed it died as a result of 'accidental natural causes' from a massive trauma to the brain as a consequence of colliding with something solid while at speed.

A spokesman for the Hawk and Owl Trust said: 'Although very sad to us, it is a part of the natural spectrum of dangers that raptors face in the wild.'

The death follows the earlier loss of another chick just over a week ago which just leaves two remaining peregrine fledglings from this year's breeding season.

The spokesman added: 'They are both fit and well, and flying around the skies above the cathedral with vigour. It is around two weeks since all four chicks fledged the nest.'

The four eggs hatched in a nest at the top of the cathedral between April 30 and May 2.
