Perry and Gwen, Sutton's peregrines, are eagerly awaiting the birth of this year's eyasses.

Up to five eggs have been laid by the falcon and she will now incubate them for two more weeks until they hatch and become eyasses.

Until the baby peregrines (eyasses) leave the nest - known as fledging - nobody can go onto the roof of Quadrant House in Sutton, where the eggs have been hatched.

The birds and the nesting site are protected so anyone caught attempting to get on the building's roof will face criminal fines of up to £5,000.

While Gwen looks after her young, Perry, the tiercal, will go out and fly up to 50 miles at a time, bringing back swifts and starlings for the young eyasses.

The tiercal is the male peregrine, with the name coming from the latin 'third' because it is a third smaller than the female falcon.

Rob Dolton, a peregrine enthusiast and volunteer, said people are still needed to keep an eye on the birds, especially the fledglings, in the coming weeks via the nest cam.

Mr Dolton needs volunteers to watch the birds through the camera which has been erected on the roof.

Mr Dolton said: "It's a shame but this year, the nest is further away from the camera, so it is more difficult to see what is going on but we need people to make sure they are ok. When the eggs hatch, there will be a lot more to see. These are incredible birds, they are kings of the sky, and we will do whatever we can to help them survive."
