nice description by Vida (youtube)

5:22 PM Vida:
​​08:18:40 the Nile goose passes by, it has turned around the opposite cliff / 08:18:57 it passes to the right, above and its shadow in the water / 08:27:24 several are heard nearby (believe).
10:07:56 Zica arrives / 10:08:05 Natalio leaves / 10:11:46 Natalio brings moss / 10:14:28 Natalio brings more moss, that's how beautiful the nest is always / 10:16:41 he brings a stick that was needed
​​10:17:09 Natalio's beautiful outward flight over the river / 10:18:10 back over the river, brings moss and twigs / 10:18:57 leaves / 10:20:49 returns with more moss and the bed of the bowl is perfect
10:24:15 he brings two beautiful feathers to decorate / 10:24:37 he leaves, but returns with more material / 10:27:01 Natalio leaves and Zica remains in the nest until

CARE of the eggs and the nest bowl:
male NATALIO (last change: 17.20) 17.21 + 17.48 + 18.34 + 19.14 + 19.46 + 20.17 + 21.20 +

from 17.20 to 18.00 you could hear talking and Natalio was listening (Zica also clapped her bill)

CARE 17.21:

Natalio listens for long minutes in this position or just observes?

today again some overly loud family (with a little girl and a boy probably) was on the water (we couldn't see them)
they could already be heard on the other side of the river and on the way back really, really loud (special screams, calling at 18:41 - 18:45)

Vida (comment on youtube):
Casi todos los días se escuchan voces humanas desde que está el nido, del día y de noche. Supongo que lo que no se puede es navegar, pero en los alrededores se suele escuchar gente
(GT: Almost every day human voices are heard from the nest, day and night. I guess what you can't do is navigate, but you can usually hear people in the surrounding area.)

(usually my sound is quite low, the microphone is really great and even the birds make - very loud - noise )

EDIT
7:08 PM Libe ​​... a few days ago I was lucky enough to be in that place, and access is free, anyone can approach, in fact the local people bathe in that lagoon in summer, it is far enough from the nest area

so only the microphone scared me - ​​I'd rather have the sound turned down again
