No time to prepare a detailed synopsis of yesterday's discouraging events, which included matings and intrusions (with support from male) but no fish, despite EJ leaving the nest and her egg for a couple of quite long periods.
This sums up most of our feelings (me having said that I was not worried):
===============
Edit
A couple of videos added to yesterday's DU, covering EJ's long break during which the male defended, and EJ tending the nestcup followed by a quick fly-around.
IMAGICAT
Its lovely to see dear EJ with company but why oh why doesn't he bring fish?
Instead of coming back to see that EJ had a fish-gift, there was just a blue Carnyx screen :( Refreshed to find EJ still alone and fishless... and just as I was poised to snap her wistful expression, she moved!
He's back. No fish
He's gone again
The screen version is going down repeatedly but I notice that VLC has kept going :-/

The first version of this had the main action missing, dang editor!
Morning All - thanks for all the updates, captures and vids.
I too would like to think she ate yesterday but we just don't know. I do think however she does look weary - I just hope she remains fit enough to deal with any intrusions.
