Sorry to be so LATE! The question for today is whether EJ now has a new male suitor who can help her repel the Blue Ringed intruder (now popularly thought of as another female, especially after the vicious attack on EJ at the nest first thing yesterday morning.) The daylight is already beginning in the distance behind the nest, and scylla will no doubt have a catch up and update.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild

No osprey has been on the nest since we last showed EJ (looking well, by the way).

Here's EJ with alarm chirps
Birdie Num Num's brilliant DU summary 2017
Naughty EJ arrived while I was getting muesli, how could she? :o
But I am so pleased to see her :-* Thanks for snaps, MOFFER.
Standing on the edge of the nest now, looking around, fiddling with her silly stick
She's flown
Do not think that pairs are all bad. On 5th May 1990 a new couple turned up at Loch Garten and evicted the sitting couple. I dare say they were not at all popular that day. However the male became the legendary Ollie (Green LS?) who ruled Loch Garten for twelve summers.

Back again with urgent flapping and quite soft chirps... flown.
She's back alarm chirping and flapping
and flown
Morning all and what a lovely one it is. Thanks for the updates. Will those others be around. What will the beautiful girl be up to today, and will the boy return today, who knows, as always fingers crossed, I have not given up on him. Going to try and do some gardening, but is a bit hot. Will be back in the evening.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
