Oh yes! It's clearly there.
It is written here that hatching is expected not before June 8: https://looduskalender.ee/n/node/4564
Early bird gets the worm.

the chick clambers up to the parent's back - 18.16
18.47 a parent brought a fish - the chick looked interested but in the end the parent who brought it ate it too
19.33 again a parent brought a fish to the nest - i don't know if the chick ate any, but it looked like it was trying to feed the fish to the chick
