The chicks, along with their parents, were named live on Facebook today. A total of 1584 people voted for the names.

Work on an ambitious project to repair a path up the Mournes is continuing after the biggest fire in the history of the Co Down mountain range.
Since 2019, nearly 2km of path repairs have been completed, with work now being carried out on the last 200m to the summit of Slieve Donard.
The work is being carried out with locally sourced stone, 200 tons of which has been flown by the National Trust helicopter from old quarries within the Mournes.
Two new National Trust rangers, James Fisher and Theo Burke, are involved in the intensive work.
