Once we could see light on the PTZ cam, EJ appeared on the Love Tree perch yesterday with a good sized fish, where GJ joined her after a skydance (presumably him.) (Capture by Limpy) Events were confusing me a bit, so please correct me if I have misinterpreted anything! We heard sounds but did not get a view of the nest. Tiger posted that EJ's 21st birthday was celebrated by the announcement of a lovely canvas print of a cracking photo of EJ carrying away a good sized fish at Aviemore.

Good Morning All when you arrive :-)
Thank You for starting us off CC.
It is an empty perch at the moment. I have checked Aviemore Ospreys and no updates so far.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
Good Morning All
Looks like that would be a fabulous print of our lovely EJ In the blurb it says that the last 2 seasons were failure but, sadly, neither of those were due to EJ herself
Hi Patily
Yes EJ certainly did her bit the last two years Patily, so she certainly didn't "FAIL" it was just unfortunate circumstances that happened the last two seasons that there were no chicks, she performed her task with her usual determination.
That is why when I see a few people say they need a new pair on this nest, it makes me both annoyed and sad at the same time. They forget she is a wild bird programmed to come back and breed, she did everything she was supposed to do, is it her fault that there were no chicks, NO I don't think so. So in my eyes EJ didn't FAIL. That is just me though, I will defend her to the end!
Still no Update from Aviemore Ospreys.
Perhaps tell us how you feel Mary!!! LOL
Birdies LG DU update.
My feelings EXACTLY MARY She has many successful years ahead of her if only she could find the right flipping partner

LOL Mike - I would probably get banned if I let rip.
Good morning all!
This is my third attempt at posting - I'm repeating the keyboard errors of yesterday and losing the post by 'turning the page' :'(
Your heartfelt defence of EJ is appreciated and supported, MARY and PATILY :-*

Events were confusing
They sure were, CC! (Thank you for continuing to make time for us in your busy days!)
GJ did skydance early and did visit the tree, but EJ wasn't around - in Limpy's picture he had piled in to assist in defence, it was late lunchtime.
I'll add in any catchups here... eventually, as 'things' are getting done rather slowly this morning ;)
