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.

Hazel b said: Over at that other nest (Blue XD and Green J) the nest has failed but Green J has gone on holiday leaving Blue XD to hold the fort. It will be interesting if he comes over to Loch Garten at any point
There ya go, the search for the missing couple begins ;-) And there's Odin :-*

Nap time here, I look forward to lots of snaps. SYL.
Hooray!!! Nearly missed it doing an online shop!
Odin was on the nest briefly. It looked like he was defending, but with no sound, I can't be sure.
He flew up to the cam post
And then flew to the camera tree

Keeping himself looking good :)
Someone caught his eye. He's flown
Cam went to wide angle. No one around.
Cam searched around and couldn't find him. Back on nest cam.
