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.

Sigh.......again
EJ isn't calling - I wondered if my cam was frozen.
Good night all
Night Moffer. Such sad following. Sigh. We can only hope tomorrow will bring better news.

EJ is in monochrome, with her head under her wing, looking like a feather ball.
I just fell asleep sitting here, so best say g'night.
Please may tomorrow be a better day for EJ, and therefore for us.
Oh please let it be so, Scylla. Sleep well, see you and others tomorrow.
Well. it looks as though its been a similar day to the last few, suitor but no fish arriving - EJ going back and forth. Let's keep hoping that someone will get the message.
Thank you all for pics, vids and updates.

Is it just me...or is the cam down?

Hi, Trying, if it was, it's back now. EJ is in her "feather ball" position, sleeping deeply.
