Cachinnans - nest De Kreupel D03 20

General remarks:

  • Eggs: Volume measured by Stonehouse (1964) and Spaans & Spaans (1975), which make comparison possible with data from Texel (Camphuysen pers comm 16.04.2020).
  • Nest on island "D", positioned in NW corner.
  • On June 19th, four large juveniles present at this spot, one individual (p[FF] maybe?) most certainly from another nest. None of the birds traced back to the parents.
