We await signs of a second hatch, and assume now that that will not come from the second egg, which is very late:

EJ was tucked in asleep at midnight:
Not a lot of activity between then and now - occasional chick-checking but no clear views of chick or eggs:

He's flown in pursuit I think
I love the way odin looks at the chickies as if wondering what they are.

I did the whole of last night in my sleep, I could not see a thing and it's a wonder that I even wondered if there were two in the early morning.
In the above, I thought that the egg was sitting inside the hatch #1 half-shell, and that osplet was moving it as s/he moved. Here is a crop of that, if anyone would like it... or just ignore it ;-)
Thank you, NANNASCOT and MOFFER for your acute observations :-) and special thanks to MOFFER for tidying up the facts after me ;-D

Ignore this, but someone must know what I'm going thru... amongst other problems, when I upload videos to YouTube and give them titles/descriptions/tags/playlists, YouTube is attaching all that info to an existing, unrelated video and the just-uploaded video is therefore lost. Been going on about 3 days, on 'n off, and you can imagine how beside-myself I am. But at least I've twigged what's happening now.
Awwww, scylla, I would have given up long ago. Yet it is your footage that is giving us the material to pore through. I could not see a thing last night for sure. It did take moffer and nannascot's eagle eyes to suss it out for sure.

What on earth happened?
I couldn't tell if EJ was caught by a gust of wind or a sudden twinge :o ... but she ended up dumping the fish onto the osplets and was totally discombobulated, she took so long to recover, even after a flyaround :o The whole of the subsequent feed is here, so you can check the osplets - but one of them seemed hardly to move for a long time:
Scylla, don't beat yourself up. You are an absolute STAR!!!
From your vids, we know that hatching happened sometime between 22.18 and 01.19. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
I see you Odin EJ is calling for fish, with a little one peeking out below
