Odin not seen since 18 May 2017 early afternoon --- 3 days. We have one chick left, no fish deliveries, and an unringed male hanging about the nest. I am personally moved by the greatest forum participants I have ever seen. Many opinions expressed with no personal rancor in the disagreements. I believe all are opening their hearts and minds in a fervent unified wish for the best for EJ. As one forum poster said, "If only EJ knew how many are thinking of her." I am back in town and stricken to see all the news, yet so very honored to be in the company of such courageous nature watchers. Thank you all.
At this moment EJ is sleeping on a mercifully quiet nest with a light wind but no precipitation. May she have peaceful dreams that come true for her.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

Oh dear. I hope EJ has gone to get herself something to eat. And I hope we will see her soon again.
No males around though or they would be staking a claim on the nest no?
What a horrid sight.

R.I.P little ones. Hope EJ is ok. I really feel for her.
If she's out of sight of the cameras but in the vicinity, will LG let us know?
I think they will, stingray...at least it was over fairly quickly for the nestlings.
Poor little ones How sad Hope EJ is looking after herself
I'm sure they will. The cameras are controlled from the centre so I guess if she is not on the nest they will search round once they get in later.
Birdies LG DU update.
stewart a said: If she's out of sight of the cameras but in the vicinity, will LG let us know?
I am sure they'll look for her and focus the other cam on her if she's on one of her usual branches. If not but they can see her, I expect Chris will let us know.

This was our last sighting of the chick, and I think it was as near death as can be @ 0056hr - I think the movement is just EJ dislodging it as she rose:
I haven't shortened this, out of respect.

I'm glad we have the correct time. Thank you scylla. Perhaps you are right. The chick certainly did not move as she left the nest.
Just posting to get this back up to the top of the list, as I posted NIGHTCAM on the old DU, it's a habit :-/
