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.

EJ has flown again. She got up a couple of times and looked at egg, and just flew off.

Good night all :)
Oh she did but there was finger pointing when the chicks did not behave like previous Odin chicks.
Great vid BNN, thanks for sharing, especially for clarifying how far the nest is from the hide, amazing!
