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

Sadly Scylla it looks like this is going to be the norm each day for EJ. It needs a pair to defend a nest (sad face)!!!

(Copied from above!) 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.

I suppose it depends on how busy he is, if he is at home, if he hasn't got the details himself and waiting on the ringer that has that specific range of rings to get back to him Scylla. For now it's a waiting game for Loch Garten and for us.

Yes it was Mike but EJ was her formidable self and had no hesitation in chasing after that intruder.
Hi all OmG poor EJ Surely this isn't going to go on for the rest of the season She will be exhausted
The more and more I see of EJ, the more I want to be able to take a page out of her playbook. Her resilience and stamina is not daunted by her mourning of her substantial losses. She's quite a survivor - got to be to get to age 20 as an osprey. Wow.
OK. I went to bed 2 hours ago, and now I'm gunna go try it again! Good night, scylla, patily, Mary and Mike the Bloke!

Of course, MARY :-* And what good would it do, what difference would it make, if he did "come thru"?
I'm not just hot this morning but am in a pressure cooker together with these stressful events and the need to get them online :-/
Thanks for checking that out and coming up with a positive verdict, CC :)
