A quickie new DU, as I have been unconscious for several hours.
Relatively early in the day we were encouraged by "Junior" bringing EJ half a fish - but the day went downhill from there, with no incubation and no more food.
A mystery blue-ringed male landed on EJ's back, it's unlikely we'll learn any more about him because neither we nor the VC have a clear picture of the ring number - HF0 or BF0, neither of which is on record. It will probably be referred to Roy Dennis.
Is there damage to one of the eggs, or is this something stuck on the shell?

The sound has started "fluttering", hope it fixes itself.
Well she's calling again and it does signify that he has a fish, IMHO.
Fish yes!!

Good to see Junior back last evening and again this morning. I was concered that he had got huffy with EJ when she pushed him off the nest, during the Blue Darvic intruder episode. I noted that mating attempts had also declined.
Sooner or later (hopefully sooner) he'll get his act together and bring EJ a nice fish.
EDIT. I was looking for this post 2 pages back. Don't know why it didn't post then????
Catch up. Junior tries to settle on the eggs after EJ takes her lovely fish away
He's just getting comfy when she returns
She's warning someone off
after tweeting at Junior, she's off again
The fish picture is STILL on the wall in th forward hide

Thanks Les!!
Corvid flew over behind the nest, flying quickly left to right. EJ is still standing.

Once more, Junior comes to the nest, hovers and flies off again. EJ is food soliciting
