Here is the thread you have been waiting on. The book opens now and will close at noon on Thursday 15 March 2018
Predictions should be in three parts
1. The day and date of EJ's arrival on the Loch Garten nest. Or will she turn up at all?
2. The time of day (make sure your time is not ambiguous)
3. Will EJ be carrying a fish?
So let the guessing begin.
One guess per forum member. Best of luck everyone.
Previous return dates for EJ are to be found here
EJ arrived at 4.45pm on Thursday 23 March 2017 but kept away from the nest.

If EJ arrives, I predict 15:22 on 31st March carrying a fish - but it's a big if - and even then she could find the nest already occupied, or even get thrown off in the days thereafter.
Ospreys Rule OK, but Goldfinches come a close second!
24th March, at 3.15pm, with a fish.
30th March (Good Friday) @5pm with fish.

Going to have to forecast that sadly EJ will not arrive this year. I hope I am wrong. I do forecast that an Osprey will land on the nest on Sunday 1st April at 11:15am with no fish.
1st April at noon,no fish
Thursday 29th March, 10.40am, no fish
26th march with fish @ 16.45
Good evening everyone, The beautiful EJ will arrive back on Thursday 19th March 2018 at 3.45pm not carrying a fish just ahead of the very handsome Odin.
Ok I think that EJ will not return to Loch Garten this year.
I am giving all those people who say she will not return a date of 1 May 2018 as that is usually the day for giving up hope.
Here are the guesses. Please check they are right
