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.

Well he didn't try very hard to land on her back.
EJ still silent. There was no fly-away over the trees that I could see - I wonder what direction he flew? His crop was well empty.
A few more calls.
She had been calling again but has stopped now. It's hard getting a shot of her lovely face, she's facing yonder again most of the time.
Good morning MC and anyone left?
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning, MIKE - or not, what with one thing and another !!!
She just flew out and back and is now calling, back on eggs.
Scuse me for digressing, but looking at the overnight tragedy at Arkaig reminds me of what a formidable and phenomenal osprey EJ is !!!
Hello Scylla and all who follow
Thank You for starting us off Scylla, it gets harder every day to think of something to say, so it must be worse for you and whoever starts the thread.
I had started to type Good Morning then thought no its not a good morning,
EJ flew off with a call, then came very quickly back and she is settled back down on the eggs.
Still she sits and I have lost sound now. Cam went to the Ouch screen, but after a refresh started OK.
What is today going to bring... how much longer can she go.

Hi Mike
I had only read as far as Scylla going to get coffee, so didn't know you were here.
EJ still calling.
Good morning, MARY :-*

I did include more details of yesterday's 'discussions', including your dream (and Tiger calling EJ 'stubborn'!) but just couldn't do it in an acceptable* way.
*Acceptable to me, I mean.
