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!

Morning all. Thanks Choco for starting the day and to all for the posts and pics. I've been watching upstairs since about 5am hoping to see Odin with a fish, but not seen either :( It's a waiting game now to see what will happen.
At least we have Mary as our eyes at LG now :)
As I write, EJ gave a brief call.

FISH????????? !!!!!!!!!!!
Mu brother was trying to fix the bathroom light and he switched off the electricity without telling me, so my internet went down, then I heard EJ's fish-squeals and rushed in here, don't know what I've got.
