The young stilts are pecking on the usual place, but they have grown a lot during a week's time! However they still like to dig their heads into the parents' plumage.
The stilts that have hatched closer start to appear one after the other and are coming closer:

Sure enough they are not the fluffy hatchlings that they used to be a week ago, they have already developed some pin feathers on their wings. I could have got more from the fluffies ... the hide was not on the right place in fact ...
The most important is that all of the four chicks are alive.
For my greatest pleasure some fog start to appear above the water:

The youngs are moving a lot more than last time, they return regularly to the front of the hide:
