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.

Thanks SCYLLA Brilliant!! Love the call of skydancing
Great video Scylla, and that did look like a proper mating on the first visit

20-second vid covering MOFFER's Technicolor bonding - I really don't think I'd have found it if I didn't know it was there in amongst the buffers!

Good morning everyone, you faithful lot you . Absolutely brilliantly done MOFFER and SCYLLA, thank you so very much. I’ve come out of hiding to say that yes, comforted, would be a better word for me MOFFER, thank you for your thought. Although , like you, I don’t really want a second clutch at this late stage. What I do what now is for Odin to resume normal services in regard to fishing, THEN I’ll be happy
I’ve had to resort to typing this post in word and pasting into the thread, sigh. Just as I was about to click on ‘reply’, the page suddenly flipped to page 2 ! Thank you all for your posts and pics. Here’s hoping for a fish filled day
Great double act there between Moffer and Scylla to bring us the most positive action we've seen on this nest for some time! Nice job!
I'm off to work now... thanks in advance for your observations to all those who will be watching and posting today, much appreciated as ever! :)
Wonderful pics and videos this morning, what we would have missed without your dedication! So much better seeing it for ourselves than just reading about it.
CIRRUS...... relieved to see you back, had been worrying about you M.I.A. :0)
I tuned in earlier to see EJ sitting there as if nothing had happened. Just caught up with reports and vids. Thanks all, especially Moffer and scylla, and 'Good Morning' :)

EJ continues to wait for Odin to return, hopefully with a fish.

Good morning to everyone I haven't said hello to. I'm trying to do jobs as well as watch, so sorry for being a bit slow.
