Three peregrine falcon chicks hatch at Cathedral
The birds, which have made their nest on a ledge on the side of the main tower, laid four eggs last month.
Bruce Hargrave, a tower guide, said three of the four hatched overnight on Tuesday and one was "still to hatch".
Speaking on BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Breakfast Show, Mr Hargrave described the chicks as "little white balls of fluff with big feet".
He said: "The first three hatch quite quickly and the fourth takes a bit longer."
The nest has a live video feed on the internet.
Mr Hargrave said the male peregrine had been nesting at the Cathedral for the past 10 years and the female arrived in 2023 following the death of his previous partner.
The peregrine population in the UK declined in the 1960s due to human persecution and the impact of pesticides, according to the RSPB.
However, improved legislation and protection has helped the birds to recover and they have now expanded into many urban areas, although they are still illegally killed to stop them preying on game birds, the charity added.

Mysterious disappearance of four rare birds sparks concern for their survival
Four breeding male hen harriers have vanished from their nests. The birds disappeared from the Forest of Bowland in Lancashire and RSPB Geltsdale Nature Reserve in Cumbria during an eight-day period in May. Hen harriers are a rare, red-listed species, and their decline in the UK has long been linked to illegal killing. Chris Hind, a volunteer at Geltsdale RSPB Reserve, said: "We were incredibly hopeful that our efforts would pay off, but nothing was guaranteed. "To see these birds take to the sky after weeks of tough work is fantastic but, as with all hen harriers in the UK, these birds face an uncertain future." Despite the loss of the males, RSPB staff and volunteers managed to help five chicks fledge from two of the affected nests by providing emergency food to the females, who would otherwise have abandoned the young. In Bowland, one of the missing males was a satellite-tagged bird known as Dynamo. His tag suddenly stopped transmitting, with no evidence of malfunction.

Lancashire and Cumbria police launched investigations, but no charges have been brought. Mark Thomas, RSPB head of investigations UK, said: "Sadly, these four missing hen harriers are just the latest in a long line of identical incidents recorded over decades and demonstrate the catastrophic knock-on effect to the breeding success and recovery of this species. "Those killing hen harriers do so with little or no fear of recrimination. "Now is the time for the Westminster government to act on licensing this industry, if it is truly serious about the conservation of this amazing species." Anyone with information is asked to contact the police on 101. If you wish to contact anonymously, call the RSPB's confidential Raptor Crime Hotline on 0300 999 0101.

School plans to convert former pub into classrooms
An empty Grantham pub could be turned into a sixth-form centre by a nearby school. The King's School has applied to convert the former Five Bells on Brook Street for use by its Year 12 and 13 students. In its planning application, the boys' school said the revamped space would provide "teaching and study spaces specifically tailored to the needs of older students preparing for A-level examinations and university entrance". It would also be used for offices. Plans include removing the bar area, the cellars and the kitchen and converting them into smaller rooms. The application said "no significant external alterations are proposed" except possibly ramps and door widening to improve accessibility. The bid will be considered by South Kesteven District Council. The King's School's former pupils include Sir Isaac Newton and 18th Century Poet Laureate Colley Cibber.
