Peregrine falcon chicks named by local families

Three peregrine falcon chicks have been named after suggestions from people living near the abbey where they were born.

A nesting box on the side of Tewkesbury Abbey's tower has been home to mating pair Christopher Robin and Bella for several years and recently welcomed the three "big fluffy balls of fur", Helen Wolfson, from the abbey, said.

Tewkesbury residents submitted names for the chicks – one girl and two boys – at a nature event at the abbey on Saturday.

The names – Eleanor, Flash and Fluff – were pulled out of two hats on BBC Radio Gloucestershire's breakfast show on Tuesday.
