While it is sad to consider that EJ did not raise chicks this season after the disappearance/demise of our beloved Odin last Spring, we must admit that EJ has proven herself as a survivor in life, life that offers opportunities in the wake of disaster if we can move forward to take them. And in that way, I must say that observing osprey (and nature in general) continues to be personal education. EJ is indeed a wise osprey as due her years... which only contributes further to her beauty in my eyes. Here is yesterday's super-sighting, captured by scylla.

Good morning MC. ENS right now.
Birdies LG DU update.
Good Morning Scylla and all who follow
Thank You CC for a lovely start off this morning.
The nest is still empty, and it looks like the cam has focused on the back ground trees instead of the nest, which I see a lot when my camera does exactly the same LOL.... the old depth of field chestnut is haunting us this morning. :-)
Gordon has posted an update at Aviemore Ospreys, no mention of EJ, and I guess if she had been there he would have mentioned her.
EJ's Memorial Balgavies Loch Ospreys 2023
If this is a mess I'll do it again - I'm experimenting with VirtualDub to try to improve videos now that YouTube is withdrawing its Enhancements feature, and I don't know how to use it. I've got a feeling the result is almost identical to the original, except I've upped the sound with the usual software.
All of a sudden the light changed:
She flew off feet first ;)
It sounds good to me Scylla, nice change of light through your snips too....
Good morning, MIKE (I see you didn't dare risk 2 late nights running ;) ) and MARY :)

Ah, it takes an artist-technician to realise these things, Mary ;)
LOL SCYLLA.
Looks like EJ has changed her fish shop, think Rothiemurchus must be flavour of the week. :-)
Now you two!! behave! LOL
We always behave Mike :-) and the nest is still empty!!! :-)
I wonder why, just out of the blue, you suddenly have to sign in?
Good Morning SCYLLA MARY MIKE and everyone
