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

Who is there EJ, what are you seeing?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Intruder tried to land on the nest, decided on the other tree
and tried to land again on the nest

Hi Just home and caught up with what's happened since 6.00am. It was inevitable that this would happen, EJ could never have raised the chicks on her own even if fish had been provided. It would have been even more heartbreaking to watch them perish in a week or two or be killed by one of the intruders. It's tragic that this has happened but EJ will stay around and protect her nest and we will have the privilege of watching what transpires over the next few weeks. Hopefully Odin is recuperating nearby and they can be re-united for the rest of the season. If not, watch this space......?
So sad the news today. Here's hoping that all goes well for the rest of the season for EJ. She deserves some luck now.
EJ is fish chirping, quietly
Has she lost her marbles, or does she know something that we don't?
Unsure if this has been posted ... apologies if duplicated

Such a heartbreaking tragedy I can't stop thinking of it and being tearful Pleased to read that dear beautiful EJ has eaten and a relief to seeher but I wish she could have a rest from intruders. I long to see Odin again
I don't know Moffer, maybe she does see or sense something! We will await and see, fingers crossed.
