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.

Hello again my fellow Ospreyholics
I see we have an empty nest just now. Hopefully EJ has gone to get herself a massive fish.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
A bird, okay smaller than we're used to. Great Tit

She's back with flaps, looking very wet.
good to see her back
Looking very wet, even her head. She has been submerged - hopefully a successful dive and got herself a fish!
Looks like she's had a dip?

It's preen o'clock
"Wing shake" rather than flaps ;)
I did a video just for the record (once in YouTube, it's usually findable and datable etc) - she was gone over 2 hours, I hope she has eaten even tho her crop is not bulging.
