That suggests her eggs failed to hatch.  How sad for her.

Yes indeed CLARE. But I do hope it also doesn't mean future trouble for the LG nest

Cirrus: I believe EJ is about 18.  I started following Ospreys at the end of the 2004 season when Lady would have been about the same age. In one of the following seasons she laid and hatched 4 eggs (I think 2 were raised).  So EJ probably has a good few fertile years left.

EJ will be 18 next month.  I also think that she has some good years left....she is certainly going strong now!

GreenJ is now 24 years old, so will be very interesting given last year's failed nest, to see if she and BlueXD manage to raise any chicks this year...

EJ hatched in July, 1997 so will be 18 in July Edit - being silly of course she was ringed in July, apologies Clare :) Too much excitement going on :D

Green J ringed in July, 1991 so is 24

[/quote]I thought that was when she was ringed?

Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
