Dinna be daft, MARY :-* Thank you so much for finding the time to give us a pretty comprehensive status report :-)

I wrote that hours ago :-/ Am kinda tied up here in my own ill-advised acquistions ;-)
Will catch up now, I do know that EJ has been gone a long time and popped back briefly due to intruder Fenrir :o
IMAGICAT
EJ is calling off cam.....a short burst of contact cheeps.
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Hi Moffer, I heard it too. Seems very quiet on here tonight, missing everybody already! : (
Me too. I'm happy for EJ to be free of the burden of sitting on that egg, that most probably would not have hatched, waiting for Odin to bring her fish and putting up with persistent intruders, but I feel sad that I won't get to see her everyday and chat to everyone here :(
Evening all - thanks to all who contributed to the log for today.
It started quietly, and seems to be ending even more quietly, with not even EJ in sight, although she may well be very close by...
Looking at EJ's brief return to the nest this afternoon, I wonder if she had fished and eaten first, and then went to wash afterwards, which is why she looked like she had just bathed? She was certainly gone long enough to have done both, and in the pics she doesn't look like she had an empty crop... I do hope so anyway!

Someone is on the cam post - a bit of alarm calling...
And some wing fluttering noises
Just had a quick read through all the posts thankyou to everyone for doing them, hope now EJ is going to look after herself and go fishing, such a sad season, I realy hope she and Odin stay to keep the nest, if not would they both still return to it next year
The more you rush, the longer it takes
Oh I missed that :(
Sorry, I think it may have been on another cam!!! I see Monty and Glesni just did a changeover, he brought in some late supper for her :)

I would expect them to defend the nest like EJ did with Henry in 2005 and 2007.
Contrary to some suggestions EJ did not migrate early in 2005 or 2007. See EJ profile
