Will EJ return this week? What if another female tries to claim the nest? Will super-Odin return to fish another year? Or will EJ take another mate (she'd better not!!) Will YOU be the lucky blogger to catch the first glimpse of an osprey at LG? Tune in to the Loch Garten LIVE webcam for the first installment of Loch Garten Ospreys - 2010!!
Seriously, lots of interesting chat on the last page or two of the previous week's chatter. Catch up now because you won't have time once the ospreys are back in town! :-)
Now, of course, can't wait till tomorrow morning to see if she returns to the nest. Very frustrating that I have been watching almost non stop for two days, then popped out for only a hour & missed her return. That's Life.
All unsuspecting I tune in this morn. The screen is sizzling with all the excitement. Welcome back EJ. Congrats to the bloggers who saw here first! <sigh> I shall have to wait until this evening (our time) to see her.
Missed the live action this afternoon, hopefully there will be something to see when it gets light.
Feel like I've flown back from West Africa myself after all today's excitement - so pleased I was watching at the right time, despite predictiong 27th! Actually, I'm glad EJ didn't wait till tomorrow, because we shall be out all day, visiting Dau#1, S-i-L (who has just begun a new consultancy contract based at home) and two G-Daus - also to fetch stuff from their house ready for Son when we see him. So I shall probably not appear until Sunday morning!
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
Some news for those of you following Norfolk Botanical eagles:
Eaglets are scheduled to be banded next Wednesday, March 31 at 9:00 a.m.
Maureen: You were right about Lily and Hope. Hope is having dinner now and my, what a racket! Poor Lily can't seem to get comfy without Hope squealing.

Did anyone else notice that Debby Thorne's Facebook message (which I only got when I returned from work this evening) was timed at 11.23 AM this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nite all. Bath and bed calls.
