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 afternoon ALL. Many thanks CC for starting us off and a special thank you, and how nice to see you, to Lorna for her excellent work on the camera.
I love Mary's robust defence of EJ's status. She certainly has not been a 'failure', just not found the right man for her yet. But after yesterday's efforts by GJ, sitting beside her on the Love Tree perch, which I had accused him of failing to do, brought a small smile to my face.
Camperson, perhaps the lovely Lorna again, did a very careful scan of the trees, zooming in and out, but failing to find EJ, or indeed GJ. Lots of 'failings'' in this post, LOL. Now 12.40 we are looking at a very soggy nest, and the sound of the wind hitting the mic. Has the wind changed direction recently, because it is not exactly blowing a gale.
I can confirm that EJ did not appear at AO this morning.

EJ brings a twiggy branch, gets caught up in it, and then waits for GJ, chirping. He arrives to land on her back. No mating. He flies off, leaving EJ there. AGH I just missed both her coming to the nest, and then leaving!

Good Afternoon Everyone
Just back after a long lunch out :-) and first thing I did was check on the nest, and
here we have the lovely EJ.
Happy to have seen her on the nest, I can get on with some other things now. :-)
