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 ;)

Sheila, I somehow find myself having to pay for extra data at this time of year. Hmm I wonder why LOL
My name is Paul and I'm an Ospreyholic.
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
I do just love EJ. She looks amazing on this cam now.
My dogs were asking for their dinner, but EJ was live on the nest. What was I supposed to do? Poor dogs.
Just so I don't have to ask all the time, may I keep copies of all the wonderful photos, and links to the various vids during the season... posted by everyone... pleeeeze!!
