I found some Ardea cinerea chicks that appear to have hatched strong and healthy.
They have grown some, so they must have hatched several days ago.
The photo was taken from a distance so it’s difficult to see, but the chicks are with their parent on the left side. (On the right is another nest. The bird in that nest is still incubating its eggs.)
From here on, the parents will be busy feeding their chicks. As the crows are always waiting nearby, we can only hope that the chicks will grow into fledglings.
The area has become noisy with the calls of the chicks and their parents as well as the crows.
