Just a quick beginning since I have to go out again. Another relatively calm day punctuated only by an unseen intruder and EJ's subsequent absence at the nest for about 45 minutes. Odin brought 2 fish of reasonable size and the osplets seemed happy enough. In the meantime, they are sleeping beneath EJ and it sounds like one is wheezing. Can you tell what this is?
I completed BNN's summary to the end of the day here. She had done most of it anyways. :)

An osplet just had a squit while I was processing. No more wheezing sounds. :-P
EJ just took off for a flyaround.
She is back.
Bye bye - see you later, scylla! :-*
Thank you so much for starting the day, CC. I'm going to be preoccupied for a while but will remind myself that EJ had a flyaround during midnight-0100hr.

As said on your YT, I fantasise that it's #2 whimpering in its sleep, due to nightmares of #1's bullying ;-)

It was 0044hr, if we can trust the time. And we got no flyaway whatsoever, so here's a bit-by-bit flyback ;-)
What a quiet night it's been!
Female cuckoo started up @ 0312hr, followed soon after by the male, but they didn't last long.
The IR went off @ 0324hr:
0330hr EJ took off:
Wasn't gone long:
Didn't settle back on the chicks... David, I think, had a poop, which probably looks like a whitish stick but it ain't:
EJ took off again:
Gone longer this time:
Stood around wondering what to do next, osplets got active, Goliath had a poop, not spectacular by her standards:
DAYCAM 0347hr
Now:
Cuckoo with echo-cackle :-) It's got to be the male adding variety to his call.
Soooo quiet! Osplets asleep. EJ not very awake.
I knew I shouldn't break off for chores ;-)
FISH @ 0450hr !!!!!!!!! And it's a very good one!
Odin didn't stay long:
And we got to see him fly away :-)
A very peaceful feed has been in progress ever since. EJ didn't even have to chirp very loud.
