Back in June, Oldham Council asked residents to name its new feathered friends that had hatched on the Civic Centre Tower, and the results are now in.

The Mayor of Oldham, Councilllor Eddie Moores has picked the winning names from hundreds of entries.

The Three fluffy Peregrine Falcon chicks are now called Frank – after Oldham Athletic’s Chairman Frank Rothwell, Kevin – in honour of rugby legend Kevin Sinfield and Rags – a nod to Oldham’s famous rag pudding!

Michael Lyons, who chose the winning names, has won a £50 gift voucher to spend in Oldham Town Centre.
