EGG #1 has arrived courtesy of EJ & Odin [VIDEO courtesy of scylla], at about 19:00 yesterday! [pic courtesy of Moffer]. What else can one say? Thus begins a long time stint on the nest where we get to watch a season with the family! :-*
And here she is on the nest tonight, dozing yet watchful.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Good Morning BC
Thank You CC for starting us off and to Scylla for all the overnight pics especially the lovely framed ones, matched to perfection :-)
I have been away at SWT Balgavies since Tuesday, wifi on the site was very slow, I couldn't stream any webcams so I have only been posting on the Balgavies thread whilst I have been away.
So good to see the wonderful EJ has laid an egg, I got this snip before I went to bed last night but didn't post it
and this looks like an old master painting of her
What happened to the nice clear picture on the webcam when it first came up at the beginning of the season? Maybe its just my screen though!!! :-)

Hi MARY
It's not your screen Mary!
Birdies LG DU update.
Better say no more then Mike :-)
The sun is coming up now, EJ is looking around.
I hope this good spell of weather continues throughout the season, especially incubating time, somehow I cannot see that happening though.
Thank you for the great coverage, if it wasn't for all of you especially SCYLLA and MOFFER I would have missed all the eggcitement!
Skein of geese passing, caused EJ a little concern. She warned them off!
Did anyone see who has landed on the nest 3 times now , EJ has been mantling and to me it was not Odin who landed on the nest or was it , but I am sure it was not !!!

It has just happened again, I missed it previously as was on other threads.
EJ Was flapping wings to stop whoever it was trying to land on her back, could only see the legs.....
EJ has settled back down and is not alarm calling or anything..... so wonder what that was all about.
Scylla will be probably be recording so she may be able to pick it up.
Edit: Maybe she is miffed at Odin for not bringing her a fish :-)
It has happened at least 4 times definitely intruder I would say , yes hope Scylla was recording , it started about 7.25
