EJ the Magnificent Osprey Queen. She caught one of her whoppers and spent several hours eating it on the Fish Perch, stretching and relaxing in between munching. After chasing someone away from the nest in the morning, she was spotted with the fish that she must have caught at Aviemore! :)

Hello, Sorry I have been away for two days. The sound is part of the centre's original camera system and my working knowledge of it is a bit limited. However, I do know that it is a wireless transmission from the nest to the centre and although there may be the actual sound somewhere there it is being drowned out by the interference. We can only guess at the reason for this. But it will need someone at Loch Garten to make sure all the various links are all working and that nothing has been added or changed around the visitor centre that may be causing this interference. If no-one has contacted them yet, we can do this on Monday.
Thanks for the new thread, CC. Fabulous photo of the wonderful EJ. I read on the Aviemore FB page that Kenny was disappointed that it was misty and not sunny. Might have made a more dramatic photo. However, I like this misty photo--very atmospheric and seems to show EJ's fortitude and determination (not to mention that this photo was taken about 4.45am so you might expect misty conditions). Long may EJ reign! Yes, I know, I believe she is 20 this year, but I have my fingers crossed for 2018.
Kind regards, Ann
Thank you and good morning, CC, it's so nice to have you back :-*
I expect I'm too late for you, GB :)
Thank you for posting here, Peter :)

LG don't seem to be aware that the sound is under their local control.
Meanwhile... we wonder at what time the light will bring the scene to life, and hope that EJ will fly straight to the branch with her fish this morning.

Aha!
I've just found that my email to Jess on the 3rd about the missing sound didn't send, and I've got the same problem again now:
I'll write to her now wiv me GMail :(
EDIT
Oh I did write to Jess on the 3rd, using GMail.
Coffee time :)
