I'm sorry, but I'm not sure that it is NOT Eha.
Eha is different because she irritated eyes and different lighting in nest and is compared to the female oestrus and female breeding and feeding period.
For comparison using Looduskalender commentators pictures

This is not easy But I have checked the pictures, and I think the change was clearly when Eha had her bad eye. It was probably a strain, and she looked tired and older. It was around April 22 ( If I remember correctly )

Thank you Grieta for your comparing pictures
However - I hope that Koit will come soon with food for Eha?, she is calling and I think she is hungry and I didn`t see a food delivery live until now ...

Checked the pontu pictures in 5 minute steps and saw Koit visiting at 05:13
Nest was empty at 07:19 - but only for short time.
Now at 12:42 Eha? left the nest for about 12 minutes - gone hunting?
Back at 12:55

Eha? had been out for a minute or two and returned to the nest quickly ...

He was around for quite a while, jumping around like a Dschinn and ranting all the time
Maybe the jays have their nest not far away ....

First Eha? tried to gobble it whole - then she decided to better rip it

The Jay was on again today They must have a nest nearby, and they think/know that Eha and Koit not exactly make the neighbourhood safe..
(just like Metra had Mr McNaughty last year)

Sound!
While the nasty jay was fluttering around Eha? there were calls of another bird of prey (?) ?

Bea I think the calls in your video sounds like a mix of Jay, Black Woodpecker and LSE
19:21 - A calm afternoon for Eha, sleeping, preening and keeping an eye on the neighborhood:

May 10 - Good morning
Eha was in the nest when I opened the cam. She then left the nest for some minutes. It's still only one egg, maybe she has decided that is enough this season.
07:40 - Back in the nest after her morning trip:
