Woking peregrine falcon chicks begin to hatch
Peregrine falcon chicks on top of a Woking town centre building have begun to hatch.
The Woking Peregrine Project has a nest box on top of Export House in the town, and a camera which tracks the birds' progress.
Four eggs were laid between 19 and 25 March, and a post on X, external, formerly Twitter, confirmed a second chick hatched on Monday.
The nest box was installed in January 2016, with success stories and tragedy striking in the time since. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c51njl4k2pvo
