00:01Bird watchers in Birmingham can now follow a nesting pair of peregrine falcons
00:05live from the top of Old Joe.
00:07The University of Birmingham says a camera inside the nest box is showing close-up pictures
00:13of the protected birds with four eggs laid.
00:15The falcons have returned to the campus every spring since 2013,
00:20and access to parts of the clock tower has been restricted to avoid disturbance.
00:25University officials say years of work have helped make the site safe.
00:29The live stream available on the University website and YouTube is expected to show incubation,
00:35hatching and hopefully chicks fledging in the few weeks ahead for viewers across Birmingham
00:40and beyond with a rare insight.
