TWO peregrine falcon chicks have hatched at Nottingham Trent University.
The chicks emerged in the early hours of yesterday morning – the first just before 2am and the second before 3.15am.
The university is currently awaiting the third.
Grant Anderson, environment manager at Nottingham Trent University, said: "During the cold weather earlier this month many people were worried about the effect the snow might have on the eggs.
"So we're delighted to see two tiny chicks appear overnight.
"We now look forward to watching them grow on our webcams."
The birds are nested at the top of the university's Newton building, in Nottingham city centre.
It has been a very successful nest site, with 17 chicks leaving the nest successfully in the last six years.
