Another morning and daytime was spent in stress, tension, frustration, despair...
EJ certainly had a very stressful start to the day, it's a wonder her voice didn't wear out! Intruder(s) not seen on-cam.
(Per Moffer)
When she wasn't shouting she was watching and waiting:
(Per MaryGK)
Later in the day EJ appeared to have managed a dip - let's hope that rinsed out some of the biting mites ;)
GJ deigned to turn up with clumps and/or for mating attempts, then, at 23 minutes past 7 in the evening! (should have been that time in the morning, GJ!) he arrived with a very respectable brown trout (thank you, Bucky).
(Per me)
However, EJ was gone 35 minutes max - please may she have eaten it all and not lost any.
Some discord yesterday, as everyone has their own way of dealing with what we all know to be a poor situation for our very precious heroine, EJ :-* We've been thru worse, and mutual support will carry us thru - to who knows where?

EJ is calling. GJ is around somewhere
Oh dear, another empty-taloned sail-in by GJ >:( And he's off after a short stand.
Here he is. No fish as usual, and he's gone
Back for a mating attempt, EJ's tail was up.
Trying to mate..........gone
GJ's 2 visits:
and the cheeky *** has the nerve to come back empty handed yet again!!!! and again.....!!!!!
Thank You everyone for all your posts, pictures and for watching over dear EJ each and every day.
Its with a heavy heart that I read them and see that GJ has not given EJ a break or a fish, it is excruciating to see this, how could EJ not have picked another Odin or Henry (despite his football skills)..... she picked a bummer with OVS, and I am beginning to think this G. falls into that same category.
He may still deliver a fish like he did last night, so this is what I am hanging on to for now, its all we can do at this present time.
Thanks to Alison for the lovely sunrise shot, so G. was there in the camera tree, and that is why EJ was calling early on, come on G. start acting like an Osprey.... and get EJ a fish.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
16.44 EJ was calling for fish
It came to nothing.
17.04 She called as she got up. I was hoping............. but no
Hi again, Mary :-* EJ shouted just now and I thought it might indicate a fish in sight but that didn't last. She's still up, braced against the wind.
