Four sweet peregrine falcon chicks which hatched at Worcester Cathedral are so tiny they are weighed in ICE CREAM tubs.

The chicks, two male and two female, were officially ringed today (Mon) by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO).

They also had their wingspans measured before being added to the national database for future identification.

The chicks, which hatched in front of 350,000 people watching online last month, are so small staff put them in ice cream tubs on the scales.
