Tonight brings an empty nest except for the part fish that EJ brought to the nest while she tried to shout someone away. Unfortunately, a Blue Ring intruder dive bombed her off the nest and left shortly after that. EJ never returned for her fish. :( Blue CT6 was spotted earlier in the day on the camera tree, so perhaps that was the intruder. We still are holding out for Odin.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

EJ back - a terrible tangle on the nest with intruder. Both gone, I don't yet know who left first.

Crikey MC that was one determined assault with talons!!
It looks even worse in a slideshow (sorry, I can't cope with snaps right now).

No, but I've just watched it and it's definitely out of kilter somehow :-/
This is the VLC version - I was trying to put on the end a slomo of the actual "exchange of positions" to see how it went, but the quality severely diminishes so it's not there.
Come to think of it, I might have made a second attempt...
... Yes I did, but that one misses the place I started it, that's happened a couple of times... I think there must have been glitches in the stream at the time.
Hi all, cannot say Good Morning as it's not good seeing EJ being dive bombed like this. Sorry for not "liking" your last two videos Scylla, that's because of the content, but thanks for doing them.
If it was CT6 who was doing the dive bombing, by those actions it would look like it was a female.
LG will let us know for sure as soon as they get those details back from Roy.

Good morning, Mike. Terrifying, especially when you look at the slideshow :o
Good morning, MARY - I quite understand, I'm horrified - there could easily have been a fatal injury... still could be if this goes on.
I do wish that Roy Dennis would come thru with info.
I am pretty sure I saw EJ win that nasty scrap, and then went after the intruder. I was otherwise distracted and missed it. Thanks for catching it --- I'm going back for another look. Yeah, even in the very helpful slideshow, I am sure it was EJ who managed to prevail. It does seem to me if it was CT6, it leans towards being a female.
