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!

I took the above picture from the still camera. The nest is that mound of snow with a couple of branches sticking up. :0
Formerly known as Barbara Jean
The lens was completely covered a while back. If EJ's smart, she's booked herself into a B&B for a couple of nights!
The lens was covered for me too less than 1/2 hour ago so the snow either slid off the lens or the wiper blades started
There's so much white it looks like daylight. Meanwhile, at LoTL poor Lady looks thoroughly fed up with her lot.
In case you're wondering what I was blathering about Barbara, I just realized that the Carnyx cam needed to be refreshed - oh, hours ago probably - but I didn't notice. Now that I finally(!) realized what happened, I see what you were talking about. Duh.
Morning all :) Thanks Tiger for starting us off. Oh my gosh, a white out! Poor birds must wonder what's hit them. Tropical temps to sub arctic temps, and this is their summer :(
The forcast is looking pretty awful too :(
Loch Garten stats. and All the important links for LG.
Morning Moffer: It'll be interesting to see what happens today, what with the weather and EJ playing hard to find.
At least the lens has cleared.
Morning Annette. This snow is just awful after the recent warm waether. It will be interesting to see what happens today. Will we see anything at all? Will EJ re-appear? I have to go out for a good part of the day, but I will catch up later.
Sky dancing!!!!
Some one is sky dancing. I can hear him
