Nottingham Trent University's Newton building is now home to three Peregrine Falcon chicks which hatched here a few days ago.

Luckily for us, the chicks were caught on camera shortly emerging from their eggs. Check out footage of two of them in the video below.

By the looks of it, the third chiks was a late bloomer. Still, it eventually hatched and joined the rest of the family.

Sources say that, because of recent snowfalls, some people feared that the eggs had been damaged and that no chicks would ever hatch from them. As it turns out, the baby falcons managed to pull through.

“We're delighted to see two tiny chicks appear overnight. We now look forward to watching them grow on our webcams,” Grant Anderson, the current environment manager at Nottingham Trent University, reportedly told the press.

Here's hoping more footage of these Peregrine Falcon chicks will soon come our way.
