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!

Can have sound now that other half is up & about, can hear chirpy birdsong & what sounds like running water/babbling brook but nothing from EJ ... has she lost her voice?

Sound is wildly distorted. EJ seemed to reach a crescendo and stop.

Good-second-morning, WENDY :-) Now that you and Mike are here (tho I know the latter will be all over the place ;-) ) I'll get a coffee, can't hold out any longer.
