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!

She's been quiet since her return. I think the calling I heard while EJ was off the nest was EJ herself. Having a go at Odin? He hasn't been seen yet.

Two loud bangs, noticed by EJ but she was not alarmed.
Good morning Scylla and Wendy.
Birdies LG DU update.
Very funny-sounding calls then, distorted - now she's fish-calling very straightforwardly.
It's the sound on the blink.
Good job I looked to see if anyone had dropped in on the previous page!
Good morning, MIKE :-)
Geese. (Well, that's what I call the makers of the sounds I'm hearing.)
Camera has just been zoomed in slightly.
Repeated call bursts in a small voice :-*

I wonder if they were trying to improve the focus, which hasn't been good this morning.
