Nice to start a new day with are lovely EJ on the nest, all we need now is a good looking and strong male
to match EJ

=============================
Thank you, Limpy :)
I wanted to start the DU today because... on this day in 2017 ***Odin the Magnificent*** returned to Loch Garten - for the last time?
Odin's beautiful photo taken from the RSPB Abernethy Facebook page, RSPB logo removed.
I packed up ages ago and was trying to chill before going to sleep but couldn't stop thinking about Odin, so I unveiled the LG cam... and there was EJ :o Anti-PM guard duty? I will check back.

I can't find any sign of disturbance, even checking the sound for 'peaks' (only gusts of wind and changes in generator sound found).
Over 2 hours she was on the nest, fairly inactive the whole time:
Fly-off spam ;)

It's raining or sleeting, not sure.
Looks like its sleeting at lg
Isolated snow flakes?

Good morning, Alicat :) Yes, not rain, but it doesn't look like anything that will settle, thank goodness.
Good Morning SCYLLA and all who follow
Thank You for starting us off Limpy....
Thanks Scylla for the video of EJ, that is unusual for her to stay so long on the nest during the night, maybe she heard that Pine Martin scrambling up the structure and got in there before it.
Good news to see Maya with two eggs. :-)
It certainly looks like a bit of a snowflake passing by the webcam.

Good morning, Mary :) Thank you for the heads-up re Manton Bay but you gazumped me after all ;)
I'm off very shortly, here's to a good day at LG :)
Have a good rest Scylla when you go.
A couple of caps of the nest as it is getting light and sleeting still.

Its not unusual for snow at this time of year, I remember we went skiing many moons ago and ended up being block in in Aviemore.
Who's on the nest now? Nightcam is so... difficult.
Must be EJ - how early!
