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
Annnnnd... back!
Cricky, off again
and back
I'm off to do Aran meeting Egg#1, then nap time, SYAL :)
Dunnit make you cross and upset >:( :'(
10:37 - EJ is shouting for fish
And confused Scylla!!!!!
10:40 Looking very sure of himself
10:41 another mating attempt
He then flies off
10:47 EJ stands quiet by the egg looking around her
When she is leaving, I am wondering if she is joining the male?
Just a thought as I suspect he is close by on some perch considering how quickly he appeared yesterday when there was an intrusion.
