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.

Oh there you are! Morning, MIKE :)
Good morning everyone, let's hope he gets EJ her breakfast, surely she can't go without food much longer, without it affecting her health.

Morning, Cathy :) I'm pretending that she did get something yesterday during the one-and-a-half hour absence ;)
Coffee #2 coming up. Wouldn't it be joyous to see a fish when I get back?!
Good Morning all
Don't say this fantastic female is going to have a sad season again and a wasted journey
Hi Patily. I'm sure we all share your concern but it is not time to abandon hope yet. Many other'paired' nests do not have eggs yet.
Birdies LG DU update.
