It is a strange feeling to be starting a new thread with very little idea of what may or may not be happening later.
The big news of Wednesday was that EJ finally gave up on incubating the egg. I suppose the first point of interest will be how long the egg survives before it is predated.
We have been here before. In 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2007 the Loch Garten nest did not produce any chicks. People might like to look over the summary of 2003 2005 and 2007 seasons.

All very quiet on the Loch Garten nest tonight.
it speaks for itself.
The Egg
Good morning all. EJ is calling for fish!
No idea how long she's been there, but it was sometime after 3am. when I put my Kindle on. Egg was still home alone up to then.

The Cuckoo has joined in calling.
Day cam on 5.17. EJ continues to call.
In between all the buffering, EJ is sounding quite insistent
Good morning Moffer. The saga continues then. Your times at least give us some idea of how long she has been away. Presumably the egg is still there or she would not be in her current postion.
Birdies LG DU update.
Odin flies in to mate. She stands up ready for him. So their bonding continues :)
Egg is still there.
Morning Mike. I didn't expect this today.
EJ is quiet now, looking toward the camera tree.
