Welcome to EJ and Odin's first chick of the season, reports yesterday's Strathspey&Badenoch Herald! This was certainly the buzz of the day after our days and nights of anxious waiting. Unfortunately, the cam lost its focus last night, and is now completely down. No, I just checked it again and see a fuzzy EJ wobble as well as hear the tiny chucks of a little one!© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx WildYesterday's capture during a first feed, from BNN.

Fantastic news - thanks everyone for updates and captures.
EJ's still looking up, but is silent. No alarm calls from Odin, but he may have gone fishing.

Thank you, Moffer :) I was watching but unable to summon up energy to post ;) Was it CromartyPP7(2013)? In any case, I've tagged it onto Cromarty's star turn, excerpts only.

Here is BIRDIE's unexpurgated version of Cromarty on 'his' perch :)

Handsome chap. Like his exercises
EJ sudden loud alarm call
Crows calling nearby
Come on Odin, your family is waiting.
Another shout at the Crows.
Poor EJ. All afternoon and evening she's been on her own to look after the chicks, with no fish to feed them, and defend the nest from Crows and an intruder.
