English translation:to breed
Explanation:
The context refers to breeding, not to eggs hatching. To hatch - wykluć się. You could also use the term "to nest" which is more appropriate for birds.

agree  Polangmar: Lęg, ląg – w znaczeniu ogólnym: wylęganie się, wyklucie się, czyli wydobycie się zwierząt z jaj. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lęg || Sorry, zmylił mnie słownik i Wikipedia - faktycznie "to breed": http://tinyurl.com/5srrfnl .

  -> Przystąpienie do lęgów refers to breeding, not to chicks coming out of eggs. The context needs to be taken into consideration. This is a text describing a natural area, where certain species will attempt to breed as they find suitable habitat there.
