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 ;)

yaay excellent news ,what a beautiful picture too ;-)
I think a Coal Tit (?) was just singing near the nest ~ 14:47.
So pleased that the sound is so good as well - fingers crossed it stays that way :-)

And rightly so. Ian
Well deserved too.

Every time I come back in I'm disappointed that EJ isn't on the nest... except this time :)))
And she means business too!
E J on the nest ,shes just a joy to watch ..
Hello everyone ☺
Thanks for all the updates etc. So happy I've finally managed to see EJ live this year. I love the way she just gets to work.
