Yesterday was marred by bothersome corvids and (whilst also quite amusing) heavy, grass clumps barring access to the eggcup. It all worked out in the end tho. Videos here.
EJ has had at least 4 stand-ups at the back of the nest, despite it being quite windy. The last time she looked rather alert:
She was settled contentedly immediately prior to cam failure:
