We discussed yet again the possible causes of EJ's predicament - this time the eggs took the brunt. We learned that EJ was drinking from a nearby puddle, so we know at least that she won't be dehydrated.
GJ called in for the second night running, landing on EJ's back for a quick paddle, standing for a moment, and leaving.
Other than that, I can't think what to say.

EJ is calling and calling :'(

Sleeping now.
Thanks for the increasingly difficult first post, scylla. Okay, I am back, before bed, and need to bring forward Pandy's uniquely apt poem of a couple days ago that scylla tried to highlight:
Ospreys keep their secrets
We read the books
We scour the internet
We watch incessantly
We discuss endlessly,
Laughing and crying together
We know everything and yet nothing
Because ospreys keep their secrets
~ Pandy

She had been woken by a clatter:
The daycam click woke her again and she's been calling ever since.

It is eerily quiet. The sound must still be out.EDIT: NO. Sound is back because she is calling. :'-(I must head to bed, feeling sad...

I sat with it in front of me for ages and nearly left it empty today, CC :'(
(The pink message was also missing from yesterday's OP, I didn't attempt it today.)
EJ is still calling.
I forgot to mention the Cuckoo, who started up very early and is back now.

Here's GJ, tried and failed to land on her back, stood, flew off.
EJ has fallen silent.
