Pandy said: Long have we watched every move that she makes “The Queen of Loch Garten,” we say Note her fish-calling, chick-raising, minding the nest And keeping intruders at bay Why did she leave us so early last year? We humans are eager to know Was it just too much stress, losing all but her home? What instinct had told her to go? Filled with such doubts, we all questioned her fate Would year number fifteen occur? Then with nonchalant landing, all blind to our angst The beautiful EJ returns!
Long have we watched every move that she makes
“The Queen of Loch Garten,” we say
Note her fish-calling, chick-raising, minding the nest
And keeping intruders at bay
Why did she leave us so early last year?
We humans are eager to know
Was it just too much stress, losing all but her home?
What instinct had told her to go?
Filled with such doubts, we all questioned her fate
Would year number fifteen occur?
Then with nonchalant landing, all blind to our angst
The beautiful EJ returns!
Whoever among us was convinced that we would never see EJ again will have been thrilled to have been surprised by Her Majesty yesterday.
May she receive the strong support of a good mate that she deserves!
EJ's return, for those who weren't here:
During EJ's visit to her nest, there were hardly any bottom-of-pic glitches, as if they held their breath in honour of her ;)

Cam's down on-screen and in VLC:
I've set it on 1-minute refreshes :(
Morning ALL! Lovely to see so many old faces, and welcome to the new.
I've been watching the cam since around 9.15 and apart from the wind howling at times, I have neither seen nor heard anything. A visitor called round for a coffee and has just left, and the cam seems to have died on me. Is it me, or is everyone having the same problem?

Ah, I see there's a problem. Lovely news about 24, thanks Limpy!
Cams down for me too. I have to go out for a while. so she'll be bound to turn up.
Several folk have eluded to the possibility of EJ finding another nest last year. I do hope we get some positive information in due course.
Hiya, Sheila :-*
I've written to Carnyx, just in case it's not a planned outage.

That's very considerate of you, Moffer ;) But I hope she waits for you to come home!
I hope, too, that all in Scotland have got their eyes peeled for her - and I bet they will have!
Need to be away from laptops for a while, if LG comes back with an osprey on the nest we'll just have to put up with auto-refreshes every minute on any video published :(
LG were not aware of stream being down. Checking now. EJ has not been seen so far today.
Birdies LG DU update.
