A "huge brown trout" was delivered at 1513hr:
... but nothing since. Odin was last seen leaving the nest @ 2022hr, as reported by MOFFER, after he'd brought a stick:
During EJ's short absence @ 2132hr there appeared to be no fish to keep them going until the next delivery - let's hope it's an early-morning one!
All the above is just for the record.
Tonight there appear to have been some IR shenanigans going on:
1,2
3,4
5,6
We are now on medium glare.
EJ has had no flyaround and has lifted her head only occasionally. All the Scottish and Welsh osprey nests are drenched.

Thanks Moffer for those lovely pictures. Hope I find you if we have to decamp!!!
Can keep watching the webcam via VLC I assume?
Yes Rusty, and Carnyx. It'll just be the forum that will close. (I'll be on FB)

Yes the egg will remain in the nest.
I always think of this chick at Bassenthwaite in 2004
