The chicks, who are still very tiny, were discovered this morning by a local photographer.

Paul said: “They are in the gate of the new part of Lurgan cemetery
“I was visiting my mum and dad’s grave on my way to work and heard the noise as I was walking through the gate.
“I knew the sound was coming from the gate and was amazed at what I saw.

However he was a little concerned also.
“I am not sure what happens though when the gate gets locked at night as that hole is where the latch slides into,” he said.
