Our cam was restored to us yesterday morning, albeit struggling over what Peter of Carnyx told us was the slowest broadband connection he had ever known (at LG). We are grateful, but have to be aware that the cam may lag behind events and suddenly update itself, with significant events, like a fish delivery, having been missed.
We speculated that EJ may have removed a dead chick from the nestcup. If we can get a clear view of the unhatched egg, we may get a clue.
The wet day ended mistily and it's a misty wee-small-hours now.
It's been a nice night-nest tonight:
When EJ got up for a flap her wings were "curtailed" ;-)
The return flap was OK:
The chicks have been active, making some very sweet sounds.
IMAGICAT
She's awake.
Hiya scylla! Just catching up from yesterday. I did see that someone had also believed the remaining egg is still intact, which means it was NOT a chick. It has a chicklike shape, but it seems to big to be an unhatched chick, and also, I do not remember it "swinging" as if it was flexible. All that to say, maybe I dunno what I am talking about! :D

That's a lovely shot, scylla.
Good morning, CC, we meet at last ;-D
Misty morning:
I'm just popping into my LOTL recordings, in case there's been a pip/crack/hatch.
A quick flyaround.
I've just wasted a-g-e-s trying to get a close-up of the chicks - #2 is unrecognisable when not moving. But they're both moving, and #1 preened its back.

FISH @ 0443hr !!!!!!!
She's flown without it, leaving Odin standing there like a nana :o
She has returned, has taken possession, and is feeding with her usual musical accompaniment.
Here she comes:
Family group - look at that long neck!
