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.

I think your "usual method" is the better of the two, too, MARY ;)
Thank you for all the scaps and reports - sorry you missed EJ's performance, CATLADY, but glad you had a good chat with everyone :)
Thank you for the heads-up re the meeting on the nest, CC - what a very silly stick that was, she just hasn't got the same nest skills lately ;)
I should have hung around for some of the preening as shown by LIMPY, but here is EJ's afternoon in a couple of minutes :)
Half out of sight as usual - it was just a paddle, even tho EJ raised her tail:
Lots of lovely preening-on-the-dead-tree snaps, so I won't inflict any more on you :)
Off now to get a meal.

Magical light. She certainly has been preening out everything!© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild
Just catching up, watched Scylla's video and am kicking myself I never waited that extra 15 minutes, I would have seen her Live on the nest and George, never mind will just have to come back again next year! She certainly has given us plenty of viewing today, on the new tree top perch, Love Tree, Dead Tree and nest.
Lovely colours In your last two photos CC.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Hiya Catlady! EJ's flown and I didn't see when.© RSPB - Loch Garten and Carnyx Wild
What did Camperson know that we didn't?!
CATLADY - I do admire your acceptance (can't think of the word I need)... I'd be having a real tantrum about those 15 minutes ;)

I should have seen to this first but was so excited/surprised when I saw EJ fly onto the branch :o
