Video captures water tower peregrines leaving home
A pair of peregrine falcon chicks have fledged their nest at a newly constructed box on a water tower.
Cameras at BT's Adastral Park in Martlesham near Ipswich captured an unorthodox take-off by the first to leave, a male bird.
Raptor expert Peter Merchant said the chicks had survived "against the odds" and were the offspring of birds that had been regularly seen fighting.
Their eggs took 44 days to hatch - far longer than the expected 33 days.
