EJ predictably has been dedicated to incubating her three eggs. Our wild card this year is a young male. I believe our opportunity is to watch him learning (or if he will learn) and to observe EJ's wisdom in these matters. Thank you to Tiger for the reminder that cam watchers have experienced the same angst as we are currently with EJ. At the moment she is, also predictably, tucked in, dreaming of fish, or Africa, or maybe a good mate.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild_______________________________________The Daily Update is for recording nest events only, allowing for banter, though—any questions or conversations can happen on the Osprey Chat thread.

Good morning, MIKE !!! :)

Thanks Scylla for your thoughts on what happened! More worry now...... re the preening and condition, :-(
Although I think EJ will look after herself if she really needs to, she is a wise (oldish) Osprey who has had many turbulent seasons, but being the trouper she is, she will hold on to the very last (just like she did last year - not wanting to abandon her chicks) but like every season while harrowing for us to watch, the Ospreys will know best.

Just a novice compared to all you degree standard ospreyists but in the 10 years been watching this nest its sometimes quite hard.. never thought I'd get so upset over a bird I've only ever seen the head of on the nest or so desperate to see fish!!! Good morning everyone!!
Good morning Viv. Ospreyitis is incurable!
Birdies LG DU update.
Good Morning SCYLLA MARY VIV and MIKE
How depressing that there is no improvement Wish we could get LG views I have only been watching since 2011 when dear Odin was in residence Were any of EJ's former partners as bad as this?
Good morning, VIV and PATILY :)
You've been watching longer than I have, Viv - and I'm very limited, I don't take a wide view as I can't take it all in.

Patily, if you see Tiger's post yesterday, which CC linked to in her OP today, you'll get your answer :)
I have to go now. You're very late today, MOFFER! :)
SYAL.
Bi Scylla, hope you sleep OK, I see it has to be high temps down your way....
I will be going shortly myself.
EJ has been quiet for a wee while now. Still she waits! sigh!!!!!
Morning Patily
Sleep well MC. Hi Patily.
EJ is still very quiet.
Sorry I have to leave now, the cuckoo has started up again, just as well I thought I had lost sound it was so quiet.
I leave you with our beautiful EJ, I wish for her a better day than yesterday, only saying that because I have used the word "HOPE" so often it is like the record is stuck..... however without hope we have nothing.
Good morning all. Another day, another dollar..
Silent shuffling.
