12:42 f.: Some more sneezing and PS at 12:47: She is watching whatever is there in the sky (headturning business).
12:50: She moves onto the nest and at 12:51 jumps up to the left of the middle branches where she vanishes from sight at 12:52.
12:53:25: She flies off to the left.

13:22: E 340 perches on the p-branch. Looks as if he came from a branch at the right.He jumps into the nest and is joined by 'Smiley' at 13:28. Both work in the nest bowl.
13:31: 'Smiley' moves onto the p-branch and leaves the nest bowl to E340.

13:52: Yeah. The eagles are at home and the cam says good-bye ...
14:00: The mike still works. Short 'whining' calls by - presumably - 'Smiley'.
around 14:07 the cam returns ....

The cam has got hiccup today (...), but meanwhile - at 15:06 - E 340 perches on the left of the middle branches, 'Smiley' still is on the p-branch. And while writing this:
15:07: E 340 is back in the nest bowl - 'Smiley' is preening herself.

16:53: 'Smiley' -> PS (for the record). - She was busy with preening for a long time, now some wingflaps caught her attention (it was rather loud, the wood pigeon is a good candidate for such a sound, and there is consecutive singing) - ah well, back to preening.

At 18:20, 'Smiley' is resting, preening, stretching - seems to be her day 'off'. She arrived at 13:30 something.
<I'll take a short break, my laptop is running hot. At least 36°C here today, Matsalu: around 18°C ...>

OK, took some time to understand the situation since the cam turned off
cam back at:
19:33: 'Smiley' lies in the nest bowl.
19:36: A strange visitor, unringed, perches on an upper branch at the left.
'Smiley' utters some 'whining' (warning) calls. The stranger moves to the left of the middle branches - and back to one of the left branches.
'Smiley' again warns.
19:45: The stranger (I think it's a younger female) dares to land on the nest rim - a NO GO! 'Smiley' pushes her away, the stranger needs another push until she understands: no. 'Smiley' returns to her nest. And is last seen on the p-branch, when the cam at around 19:55 takes a time-out....

20:07: Cam is (temporarily?) back. 'Smiley' still is on the p-branch, preening herself. I think she did a good job - determined, but not overly aggressive. I did not see enough of the stranger to say something about the age. I think the tail still had some darker tips.

Oh no -stranger alarm.
20:52: The stranger returns. 'Smiley' is on the p-branch and 'whines'. And I think I was wrong with the sex of the eagle: could this be a male??? The WTE has amber eyes and some black tips on his tail. 5 CY? The WTE is in the nest bowl.
The WTE also inspects the 'thing in the magical corner'.

'Smiley' is in real distress now. She continuously utters whining calls. The stranger even dares to test the bedding of the nest bowl, apart from moving some branches etc.
21:03: The stranger jumps to a branch at the right, then moves up to a branch above the camera and is out of sight. According to the sounds, the strange WTE inspected the tree, then jumps back into the nest bowl at 21:06. 'Smiley' whines. The strange WTE is very curious - not about the female, but about the nest site.
21:08:The stranger moves to the left nest rim - this is 'Smiley's chance to get rid of him!
In the wink of an eye, she jumps after him and pushes him away and down, where the WTE lands on another tree.(You can see him above the time stamp)

21:44: Ooops - what a strange sound the stranger makes - like a raspy 'craw-craw'. - 'Smiley' literally turns her back on him. She tried her very best, but is waiting for E 340, it seems.
Maybe that stranger was around earlier, I noted that at 12:47, when 'Smiley' was alone in the tree, she was watching someone in the sky, the "headturning business".
22:00: He starts to work with a longer branch, which 'Smiley'answers with 'whining' calls.
22:02: He lies down in the bowl again. (And a wood pigeon accompanies these events with a song...)
22:03:30: The thing in the magical corner. - The Lady does not approve.
