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.

Lots of chirruping and chirping going on. And the sun has come out!

A passing buzzard calls, but not visible.

I was willing them to zoom in... remembering when we had that lovely close-up of the side of the nest with all the little dears flitting around, feeding :)

Some rain and thunder here in SW London.
Mike, Thank you for your request. I know I have suggested it in a previous season but I don't have your influence! Fingers crossed.
Overnight catchup... not action-packed :)
Only Sluggy, and he was still there after daycam but not for long.
We had thunder and rain here too. It stopped the local combine, thank goodness, as we were on the wrong side of the dust!
Buzzards again, and sunshine!
LOL Scylla. The thought of slugs, flies, probably mites, and other sundry critters, makes me shudder. No wonder Lachlan is always scratching at his head!
How quickly it changes. The wind has got up, the conifer is blowing well, and I think I can hear rain.
More buzzard calls
