It falls to me to start the new thread as we watch and wait with EJ.
Right now she is fast asleep, head under her wing, in all the glory of fuzzy cam
It's now more than two days since she last had a fish from Odin. Yesterday he paid two very brief visits, but arrived empty taloned both times. Why is he not fishing for his mate? We simply do not know.
And still EJ remains magnificently dedicated to her one remaining egg, and has so far resisted going fishing for herself. A zoom yesterday did not reveal obvious damage, but surely previous kicking and three days on the rim of the nest will have taken its toll? Is it trauma that is keeping her brooding, or simply habit? Or is there still a tiny chance something has survived against all the odds? We simply do not know.
All we can do is watch and wait. And so we do. On with another day fellow Ospreyholics!

A blustery, haily shower - what more does she need? :-(

Sounds like rain at LG. EJ puts her head down.

The sun is out now. EJ has resumed high pitched twittering to Odin.
I'll be in and out for a while.
Also must go now - will look in whenever poss during the day. BFN
EJ alternates between calling and preening, all from the sitting position.
Just started to rain again :(
I have to go. Major electric problem
Must go now. Family arrived for OH's Birthday.
MOFFER, I hope all will be sorted quickly for you.
Back for 10 mins or so. No change so far. EJ cheeping, mainly quietly, at the moment.
