A second peregrine egg has hatched at the top of Cromer's parish church. 

The egg, which was the last of the three eggs to be laid in March this year, hatched on Friday (May 5) at 5.11am. 

The first egg laid by Poppy - the female peregrine named after Poppyland, a nickname for the area - hatched on May 2 at 6.30am.

However, only two of the three eggs laid hatched.

Chris Skipper, one of four committee members at the Cromer Peregrine Project, said: "The egg, which was the second to be laid, had broken open and only had fluid in it.

"It's the same number of eggs as we had hatch last year. 

"We were pleased to welcome them both and they are both healthy and eating well.

"There has been so much interest in the peregrines this year. There seems to be more interest every year."

A live stream of the birds of prey on YouTube has attracted tens of thousands of viewers over the past few months.

The watchpoint outside Cromer Museum is open seven days a week and the live video can be viewed inside the church
