21:09 The top "cake" is a nest that was robbed. I can't tell how many chicks are there, but none of the parents are likely present.

4:42 The nest, which was defended by the chicks alone from the robber, is the second one behind the previous one. This time the chicks are with the parent, who has just flown in, but did not feed the chicks. Everyone wants to sleep again.

5:11 oops! (slow motion, speed 0.25)

11:48 She probably has only one gosling, so keep an eye on it very carefully. (do you see grey chick near the stones?)
Image

11:48 first a splash at the stone - the gosling has emerged and dive back in, then the goose runs in following him
