Well it has been one of those worrying days again. It started out fine with both Odin and EJ seemingly enjoying their reunion.
Then sometime during the morning it was noticed that EJ was no longer on the nest. This was not worrying to begin with but as the hours passed it certainly concerned the viewers on here.
The weather at Loch Garten has been generally foul today and has become even worse tonight with snow falling.
So is there a problem or not? Personally I do not think so as ospreys have been known to go walkies before (well maybe they flying equivalent of walkies whatever that is).
In 2005 EJ went AWOL for a whole nine days. It was thought that she was sulking because Henry had smashed her eggs.
I guess viewers will be tuning in at first light to see if she has returned.
Anyway I think it is a bit too early to panic!

One of our birds is around, I hear it calling. It probably wont want to land on that nest though.
Skydancing! I had stopped recording the nest but hope I've captured a couple of bars in VLC.

Sounded like he just landed on the post. Probably thinking "on no, not again"

He is flying around the nest poor guy! No place to land but a snow pile
I'm so glad that EJ is not sitting on eggs right now.
Oh dear, it really is just a couple of bars :-(
He cut his song short when he saw the conditon of the nest . Not much to sing about this morning :(
Aaack. Have had the sound down, but all I can hear now is a loud hum.
