Many thanks to AG who wrote this preface to the Llyn Brenig thread for us (below)
Llyn Brenig is a reservoir on the border between Denbighshire and County Conwy in North Wales. It is managed by Welsh Water; the osprey project is a partnership between them and North Wales Wildlife Trust.
One pair of ospreys raised a single chick here each year from 2018-2020. Neither of this pair returned in 2021, when the nest was taken over by 2 Scottish birds, LJ2 (male) and LM6 (female), both 2018 chicks. The nest was vandalised the night after LM6 had laid her first egg; while the two could not continue to breed they did stay close to the site until normal migration time.
A new nest has been erected in 2022 with additional security and a streaming camera is in place. A new hide has also been built.

Brenig
Evening:
One of the osps had been sitting in the nestcup for quite a while but got up showing no egg - then the cam went down @ 20:00, still no replacement:
I've been watching Llyn Brenig on and off for the last 3 hours. LM6 is behaving as if there is an egg, but not been able to see one yet - she only seems to stand or move when the feed is being jumpy.
EDIT Just after I typed that LJ2 landed and she left - no egg visible.
Thank you for the update AG. As you say the cam is very stop start juddery, and more stop than start, but in a still photo it is good for snipping! Confirming your report of no egg.

The YT setup is wrong again - there's no rollback available. Currently, this is the empty nestcup, no egg can be seen:
