Peregrine Falcon chicks are ringed and measured at Salisbury Cathedral on May 17, 2023 in Salisbury, England. The Cathedral peregrine chicks are ringed by Nigel Jones from the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), assisted by Phil Sheldrake, the Cathedral’s Nature Conservation Adviser. This year’s chicks, which are three weeks old, are weighed, measured and fitted with two rings, a small metal BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) ring for tracking/record-keeping and a larger orange Darvic ring so that they can be identified and tracked. The names this year are Coronation themed, with the public having voted for them. (Photo by Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images)
