I understand that it was a quiet day on the nest on Sunday. Odin continued to pester EJ for sex while she continued to sit on the single egg which almost certainly will not hatch.
There only five more egg laying days in the 2015 season. It looks as if there are not going to be any chicks at Loch Garten in 2015.

Do you mean two eggs in 2 hours?
In case that is what you mean it was 2007. See Henry the eight I am
So, I am not the only one who keeps losing the reply box. I thought it was just me being a new poster and not being used to the system. Obviously not. I wonder what is going on? It hadn't occurred to me that our Ospreys might be stressed. I could see that the behaviour was far from normal. We can speculate, but we will just have to watch it all play out. Stressful for us too.
I wasn't talking about you either CRinger. Maybe I should delete that post.
It was not a poster on HERE.
I already believe that EJ will not allow herself to starve, but I do worry that she is stressed and may I add, that I do worry about Odin also. He must be confused as to the remaining egg. He, also has had a turbulent time, defending his nest.
All Loch Garten years back to 2003 are available on imagicat
and other nests

Hmmm. This year it says that Olive left without laying, so think it must have been 2002. I seem to recall it was on 17th April (my ex-wife's birthday!) when she deserted as I have vague recollections of her birthday and the snow covering the eggs. There again, I may be wrong!
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

I am not too concerned over EJ or this nest as I am well aware nests from time to time becime unstable for many reasons and we know the reason here.
However I am a little mytified at the abnormal behaviour both in EJ and Odin and again I confirm in my postings that EJ has had a very stressful event which may influence her behaviour and that is why I discussed this with Vennessa who is far more expertise in Osprey Behaviour than myself despite watching these birds live on a daily basis.
I am not sure about Odin maybe his ability to catch fish is impaired at present and both have gone without food.

EJ only arrived at Loch Garten on 16 June 2003
So her first egg was the one broken by the intruder in 2004
Then laid 3 more
Hi all :) Thanks for all the updates etc. Its a real shame that EJ hasn't had any fish today. I really hope Odin brings back a decent sized fish for EJ before nightfall.
