Another day of not seeing EJ on the nest. With a great sigh of relief though, we did catch a glimpse of her through Mike Crutch's camera lens carrying a whopper (her usual) out of the lochan, beating out 4 males. :-D THAT is our EJ!
In the meantime a pair of interlopers not only used her pad as a rendezvous, but also for a fish exchange! (pic by Moffer)(video summary by scylla) NOT acceptable---go away! If they are indeed playing house, does EJ need to dissuade them from continuing more seriously next season? Where is she during the day? Perhaps she is, as Moffer suggested, leisurely munching away at her brunch while the kids play. And also, where and who is the unringed male who seemed to have grown fond of EJ? Is it the same male who brought a whole live fish to the Blue Ring girl?
Each day arrives with more questions than any that can be answered easily. We shall do with our little peephole. It is still windblown at the moment. Full moon tonight yet no apparent illumination on the nest. :(

It's been hell this morning, MARY, with RSPB, YT and my laptop playing up all at the same time! (I know a sympathetic ear when I see one, so you're being wailed at ;-* )

Scylla I was just coming to post about your alarming things that have been happening this morning, honest, when I caught sight of your post above. We all know about the Sunday morning problems, but sorry to hear of all the other things.
Hopefully with an Empty nest at the moment it will give you some time to sort it all out.
The burling wheel is on over time this morning. So with this in mind and the fact it has stopped raining, I better go.
Hope EJ will stay around for you, and that UR male brings another fish for her.
Have a good day everyone, happy webcam watching.
Morning all, Thank goodness my fears were unfounded and EJ has re-appeared! Hope she stays and defends the nest today otherwise she's in danger of losing it.
Happy watching
Pigeony bird on the nest.
A group of these were here just now:

It did, MARY, thank you :) OK until the nest time. Freudian typo, I meant 'next time' of course ;-D
Is it a Wood Pigeon? It's liking this nest :)
WP has flown.
