Well today was a wet day at Loch Garten so there was not quite so much going on. Loch Garten did publish a blog telling us that Breagha has setlled into his favourite stopover place in the Loire Valley.
One question that keeps coming up is whether Odin and EJ might migrate early?
Well there is just no reason to believe that they will. The nest failed in 2005 and 2007 and EJ migrated on 18th August 2005 and 19th August 2007. See EJ profile
As always the nest has to be defending. Letting a new couple settle in over the summer would be a very serious mistake.

Good morning and thank you for starting the DU again, TIGER :-) Good to know you are confident that we won't be bereft early this season - tho we'd like them to spend more time on the nest, but why should they, they only need to keep an eye on it.
A nice nest view tonight at midnight:
Hardly any difference now:

Getting lighter, no osprey sights or sounds:
Morning Scylla thanks once more for your overnight posts and pics, sadly none like the other morning of Odin arriving on the nest.
Thanks Tiger for starting the thread.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Good morning, MARY - I spent some time elsewhere, both here and on t'internet :-) No-one has been to the nest, skydancing not heard.
DAYCAM 0406hr:
Well so far it is another empty nest day.
I was doing some computer housekeeping yesterday and came across these captures taken during my first season 2011 which was my all time favourite season, we had the wide cam as well as the nest cam that we could capture from, and Bynack was such a character as his call was the loudest I have heard (never any problem with sound back then) :-).... I believe it was Scylla's first season also :-)
So as there are no captures to post I thought I would dig some out and take a trip down memory lane, will see ALL who remember these!

Hi Scylla - Can you remember all these LOL.... loved that season, was so much fun!
I wonder if Breagh is still in the Loire, more than likely! Oh how I wish he would just make that final push to come home :-)
Oh well as not a lot happening and none of the BC are around will call back later :-)
Happy memories Mary. Good morning Scylla.
Birdies LG DU update.
Morning Mike.
