21:56 Feeding time

[Hagnat]

Today I have seen eleven fishes (Sticklebacks) caught from the nest. Directly or in the picture archive. 9:00, 9:31, 10:43, 12:33, 15:06, 18:01, 20:21, 20:45, 21:00, 21:19, 22:08. Of course it is possible that I missed some and very likely she caught some during her two trips.

A very close booming male tonight and another one in the background.

Hello :)
I am almost sure, that at 09:21 during feeding, I saw 4 little beaks. I have a screen pic, unfortunately don't understand, how to post it here.
Good day to all

[Hagnat]

It is very difficult to make out the number of chicks. Sometimes I think I see a beak, but it than turns out to be a wing or leg. But if all the hatching intervals are one day, there must be four now.

You only can place pictures here from another site, so you first have to upload it elsewhere and then use that URL.

All the chicks hatched and left alone.

[Ausra153]

I know, how difficult it is to count them now. :) I got only one moment, when I saw 4 beaks, and even now I am not sure in this. Screen pic isn't so sharp and clear to be sure in 100 %. But they are growing very fast, and not long to wait, when we clearly will see them all. :)

[Ausra153]

Hi again :)
At 12:32 I probably saw an egg and 3 juveniles in the nest. But I'm not sure again. It seems I am watching with so big attention, but it is really very difficult to say, how many of them. So probably it is better not to try to guess, but to wait patiently few hours, or until tomorrow and to know for sure.

12:57 Feeding. Three chicks and an egg in the nest
13:16 Feeding again.

13:33 Three chicks and an egg are home alone. They are so cute

[Hagnat]

I have looked in the archive around 12:32 and 12:57 and found an egg at 12:56.
Amazing how good it is hidden by the chicks all the time.
