Following thousands of online votes, Nottingham's Peregrine Falcon chick has been named 'Storm', very fitting when you think of the dreadful weather he has endured. He is the 17th chick raised by this wonderful pair in just 6 years. His adult plumage is growing fast and he is spending more and more time out on the ledge, exercising his legs and stretching his wings... so keep watching as he could take his first flight at any time. Here are some photographs of his incredible life journey so far.
