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!

thanks for the vid, SCYLLA - I feel its EJ but hope its not just wishful thinking.

Seconded!

I just went off to look for a shot like that TIGER, thank you!
I have sent the video off for a second opinion (second to mine, I mean).
The shape of the bird was EJ-like to me, as well as the freckles. But what a youthful prance s/he had :-)

That was EJ to me.
Way too dark not to be her.
Sorry, am in the midst of online shopping whilst popping in here, including bird seed!

Yup she took shelter from the storm she would have known was approaching .
And we heard a male Sky dancing . It must have been Odin since it is unlikely he would allow another male to sky dance and land on HIS camera post. So all looks well :))
