Here's to the new osplet's first full day. All looks peaceful on the nest just now :)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
EJ is calling for more fish. Odin is around, he flew over the nest a few minutes ago.
Loch Garten stats. and All the important links for LG.
EJ gets up for a stretch. Chick is flat out.

EJ is preening and practising her headless poses at present:
Hi everyone :)
Thanks for all the posts, pics, vids etc. Brilliant stuff :) Lovely to see the wean's had plenty to eat :)
Hi Paul :-) Isn't it great to come on and know there is a new chick to watch!?
Panting away and quiet now.
I'm off to eat. Catch you later.
At least this chick had the decency to make the first appearance at a fairly civilized time (Saturday evening). Usually they first smile at the camera in the wee small hours of the morning ;-)
I've often missed it, Heron!
I have been out all day ( did have a peek very early this morning) so thanks for all pics, vids and comments. I have read all 8 pages !! I see last nights hatch has developed into a very vociferous and strong little character.
All is quiet just now ~ I was just about to type "EJ is dozing" when she opened her eyes and moved her head quickly, as she had heard something! She is obviously very alert to everything when she has little ones to defend.
