Will we experience another disappointing day??? Another day, another blog, and a RSPB FB post of EJ (below). Yesterday EJ arrived first, and we were treated to a nice potter about the nest, lovely captures by many starting here (and great video by scylla). However, she was not joined by the new male. So the mystery continues with speculations of her possibly holding out for Odin, or having impossibly high standards after Odin, or simply needing better proof of a good mate other than domestic chore sharing. So far this male has missed the aesthetic importance of a good sky dance. A MALE (we are not sure it is the same or not) visited for short time after EJ left.A depressingly quiet empty nest tonight, light breeze.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild_______________________________________The Daily Update thread is for recording nest events only—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

Good morning, PATILY - I thought of you yesterday when EJ (I think) did a good flyaway :) I hope she performs for you today, preferably with company but alone rather than not at all :)

Still empty nest (sigh)
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
I saw the flyaway on the captures and your lovely video thanks SCYLLA
Empty nest at the moment..... think if I say that often enough someone will appear.
I have to go now Scylla and Patily - I hope you and all who follow have a productive webcam watching day.
Bye MARY :) I'm not expecting much. It rubs it in when I see the couples on the other cams I have on screen.
Morning All - thanks for the earlier updates.
I still cannot get my head around all this that EJ is around, also a male but all we see is an empty nest!! Nor is there any updates that she is on a nearby tree which I am sure LG would tell us as they must be as mystified with all this as are we!
Male on nest flapping - looks like there's another somewhere near!
Saw two flying off in the distance

I wondered if this was EJ, going by colour - this snap was hastily taken, I'll look for better:

No. I'm not good at snaps :(
I'd say it was our New Male, but not 100% certain:
