The plovers have been more agressive than normal for the last day, and I know why. Two of the eggs have hatched, and the chicks are already up and moving about. The chicks are extremely well camoflaged, there are two in the picture, one in the nest, but can you find the second one?

As we were eating lunch we could see the bird on the nest eating something as well. This must have been the eggshells, because there is no sign of shell remnants at all.

Once the remaining eggs are hatched, the chicks leave the nest but dont go far; they stay in the neighborhood.
