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!

To all - Some great comments and fantastic shots in the snow from all.
Thank you - Unfortunately here in the highlands we are not enjoying the snow as much.
The weather got a little calmer today at btimes but are in for a rocky few days yet with winds and hail to come. Next two days look better then a week of showers with wind. Hope it improves for egg laying time.
Thanks all for the updates and shots.
Poor quality on live vid but definately snowing again
Thanks Lynette for today's summary, a nice easy one for you today :)
