This is the beginning of a running thread of the off-season LG Nest Observation Thread until EJ's return next Spring. She may be on holiday or perhaps she is taking a leisurely route with long layovers, investigating nearby territories. God speed her to her wintering grounds and back to our eyes in 2018. With a bit of luck and good timing, EJ the Wise and Magnificent could oust the youngsters CT6 and apparent beau Twiggy from taking over her property.
Please post any notable observations here in the off-season. For more of this season's information on this nest, please see BNN's DU Summaries for 2017.
Photos of EJ fishing on July 14th (last day she was seen) at Aviemore Lochan, posted on FB by Dave Joicey, perhaps taken by Lynne Joicey.

I'm hearing contact calls but my recorder looked as tho it had shut down so I'm investigating.

Can't find anything.
I found distant juvvie Buzzard calls Scylla, but very distant.

Thanks for looking (I think the juvie B has been back closer since :) ).
I'm beginning to wonder if the video from the other day was playing in the background (couldn't have been tho), as I can't find it on Arkaig either :-/
Closer :)
EDIT - just noticed the time - lovely trees, but we're not even going to be able to see the nest surface.
Thank you, VC :)
I first noticed buffering about 3 minutes ago.
