Here is the thread you have been waiting on. The book opens now and will close at midnight on Sunday 20/Monday 21 March 2016
Predictions should be in three parts
1. The day and date of EJ's arrival on the Loch Garten nest.
2. The time of day (make sure your time is not ambiguous)
3. Will EJ be carrying a fish?
So let the guessing begin.
One guess per forum member. Best of luck everyone.
Previous return dates for EJ are to be found here
Here is EJ arriving at 16.56 on Thursday 2nd April 2015

I don’t believe for a minute that she a fool, but she’ll definitely not arrive until Friday 1st April at 16:03, without a fish.

Oh, didn't we have some lovely snip opportunities of both EJ and Odin, last year. I can't post any as I am away from my laptop where they are, so thank you Clare and Moffer for posting two of them.
My guess for this year is Friday 25 March, carrying a fish, at 14.46hrs.
Having read that Beatrice has returned to Spain, probably because of heavy rain making fishing difficult, this 'guess' really is such a lottery!!Edit I am on my tablet, Android, and sadly I cannot see the vid you posted, Tiger.

Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
