Osprey chicks have hatched in the East of England for the first time in more than 250 years, according to a wildlife trust.

The fish-eating birds of prey arrived at Ranworth Broad nature reserve near Wroxham in April and the first sighting of their chicks was on Friday.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust described it as a "significant moment for wildlife conservation" in the county.

Senior visitor centre manager Teala Leeder said: "Getting my first glimpse of the chicks and confirming our greatest hope was just incredible."
