Kestrel chicks hatch at Marchwood demolition site
Two chicks have hatched from a kestrel’s nest which halted the demolition of a former waste plant.
Hampshire County Council suspended work in June at Marchwood, near Southampton, after the nest was found.
Two chicks have now hatched from the five eggs in the nest and are doing well and already venturing out, the county council said.
They will be monitored closely and, once they have all left, work will restart at the site.
