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.

I would like to thank all who commented on the updates from Loch Garten, much appreciated. I went to Lochter today but will be going to Loch Garten tomorrow and Saturday, so will do a report even if there is not anything new to tell..
I see EJ is back incubating again, I thought when she had been away for a while yesterday that would have been it. I wish she would go fishing for herself, but I guess if she is hungry enough she will eventually.
Sheila I hope you are having a good journey north and enjoy your time on our favourite coast lol....

That's what I love to see, can't wait, and thank you sincerely in advance :-*
I think you did an LG movie from a different perspective, MARY - maybe soon you could post it here to give members who've never been there even more insight.

It's ever so quiet on the nest. EJ has hardly made a sound since about 14.30. I wonder where Odin is.
