[Snipe] Greater Painted Snipe

Greater Painted Snipe

The pair was seen well at Mai Po again this morning. The male was seen with 2 chicks, there were photographs showing the male with 3 chicks before I think, anyone know whether the chick have already gone off on it's own?

as of start of june;
-first nest to hatch .. to the right hand side of hide 6
-second nest to hatch .. to the left of hide 3 (two chicks)
-third nest to hatch .. directly in front of hide 3 (three chicks)

there was another nest to the right of hide 3 but i don't believe that they have hatched at my last visit.
