Here's to another day in the 2015 Loch Garten Osprey Season. Things seem to be going on schedule, and even the weather seems to be in a peaceful mood. Empty nest at the moment.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Thanks Heron and Scylla for your overnight reports. EJ has been alone for a while now.

C.A pine marten could come up though the hole and take the eggs. D. a pine martin could take a booblehead.

Yes, LIMPY - I agree. Not good .
Thanks CLARE
EJ's been on the nest screaming for fish for a good half an hour.
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
I guess she can see Odin, Moffer. Maybe he has a fish.
Morning everybody, its a beautiful day here, and it looks sunny on the nest, but EJ doesnt look happy, I think she needs feeding
The more you rush, the longer it takes
Bet she can see him eating the head - and knows that she'll end up with the 'tail'.
He hasn't learned yet that the right way is to go get the first fish of the day - and eat it out of sight of EJ. Then get another and return with THAT, so she feels privileged ------------ OR, give her the first fish of the day and go back for his own. Either way, he'd have a very happy lady and score 'First Class Osprey Points' :-D
