Given the length of EJ's early-morning absence from the nest (best part of 3 hours), you'd think it safe to assume that she did get a fish before the cam recovered just before 0600hr - but MIKE checked in just as the cam came back up, to an empty nest and then Odin flew in. That seems strange - there should have been an exchange on the nest, but the circumstances Mike found are more indicative of EJ having flown for a break and Odin flying in to take over. Maybe she had gone fishing for herself, and that's why she didn't seriously scream for fish all day. I do hope that MOFFER gets a reply to her query eventually.
The dreaded Blue Darvic was on the scene again yesterday (that's blithely assuming he's the same chap who intruded last year)... but Odin dealt with him efficiently. Apart from that it was a lovely day, with both EJ and Odin presenting us with treats for the eyes and hearts on a bright sunny day.
No flyabouts or flaps yet tonight, just the usual alternating between sleeps (plenty) and watchfulnesses and egg-care:

Just got back.Thanks Moffer for all the updates, our boy has been doing a good Job I see.Been very cold here today so take it was even colder up there.I wonder if he will bring a fish tonight.
Hi Twinkle. I don't think Odin will go fishing if the intruder is still around, but who knows, he may have got the message at last.

EJ is calling gently
EJ is calling again
She's calling more persistantly now
Bring me fish
EJ is still calling. I think that Odin may have fish, but I have to go eat. I'm recording and watching (kindle)
So she went quiet. Perhaps Odin has gone fishing now.
EJ waits in the rain, and looks for Odin
