A very quick intro because of pressures here, but I want to do it so that we at least have a UK English date, after the Americans :-* hijacked us 2 days running :o :o :o
EJ spent the whole day off the nest yesterday (vid showing departure and return with GJ, briefly, and settling for the night) - much to our relief. It was a pretty horrible day for the poor eggs to be exposed to, but we really do not want any hatch whatsoever, given the unlikelihood of provisions being supplied by that dork GJ. (Sorry, GJ, but you are not fit for purpose, intentionally or otherwise.)
We have been given hope by ChrisT that the PTZ (roving/roaming cam) may be online soon - what a difference that would make to us.
EJ is currently tucked in:

I can hear EJ
EDIT. On my recording, I can see an Osprey flying low down at speed, first right to left and then distant low, toward the nest from the 'north' and EJ started calling (sounded like she was still on lower branch) at the other bird flying. No snaps as just a blur.
Here's EJ - intending to take up nightly incubation. What's in her head? :-/
Edit - does she look wet?
Just now. She was fidgeting , trying to get comfortable, but seems to have settled.
Thanks all for the updates.

I can't see the 'from the north', either because I can't see well or because the screen-capture isn't as clear as VLC.
This has been processed to death - YouTube's editor is temporarily broken and it won't save the improved copy, which is much better than this one that I've had to do with my own cheapo software. I've upped the sound, she gets quite loud towards the end.
The first zip-by sorta went like this:
Warning! Someone's already given this the thumbs down!
EJ returns to the nest and settles for the night :( There's a float-up at the end.
