Eggs laid by Melbourne's 367 Collins Falcon start to hatch after love triangle drama

Peregrine falcon eggs laid at the top of a Melbourne high-rise have started to hatch as an audience of nearly 40,000 watches on social media.

Victorian Peregrine Project founder Victor Hurley said cracks were spotted in one of the four eggs on Thursday morning and the chicks were expected to emerge in 28 to 48 hours' time.

Known as the 367 Collins Falcon, the birds have been nesting on the top of the 34-storey building on Collins Street since 1991.
