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.

This is a clip from it, ust so we have 'solid' evidence of the last indication of an osprey at LG. Course, that depends on one of us hearing it in future, and there aren't many of us listening, plus the distant skydancers can hardly be heard over the interference and they're certainly not going to show up in an audio editor :( I'm having verbal diahrroea ;)

Well done, Scylla. You have my undying admiration. I don't know how you can pick up noise or calls when going thru your recordings, but thank you

Still down >:(
So much for placing on record the final indication of osprey presence.
Some managed to get thru to zISP on the phone, they said internet should be back up by 0600hr. Yeah ^_~
The nest sprang into view before 0600hr, wow!
But I seem to have a helluva hiss on the sound as well as the usual interference :(
Sweet bird call but not the one we're listening for :)
Good morning MC
Birdies LG DU update.
Good morning again, Mike! ;)
It's just dawned on me that it's raining, quite heavily, too.
