In the neighbour nest are all five eggs visible...no chicks.... :puzzled:

Probably this heron family started incubation a little later? :puzzled:
Thanks for all pics and observations!

Soon, with so many chicks in so many nests, the sound on this noisy colony will be... euh... multiplied :mrgreen:

Strange...is it an egg in front of this nest? And at the left side another egg? :puzzled: By this way they regulate the number of chicks? :puzzled: Or are those empty shells? :puzzled:

I believe the egg in front is an empty shell. The upper part is missing, I think.
A parent probably removed it (or maybe the wind blew it away?).
I love to see all these weird little chicks! Yes, they seem to grow fast!
The picture from 8:55 is so funny!
