Growth

Photo 4: Although some offspring is airborne (previous upload), others are still bound to the nest platform, unable to fly. Compare this upload with photo 1 (see June 10-th, 2011) and notice how both the juveniles as well as the Water Mint (Mentha aquatica/Watermunt) have grown in 2 weeks.
Photo 5: There was even 1 bird that was still breeding, probably a second attempt. The vegetation is Water Dropwort (Oenanthe aquatica/Watertorkruid).
