I have always felt that we should have a thread for EJ as well as Odin.
My countdown clock says that we might expect her to swoop into Loch Garten 76 days from now. I hjope it has warmed up by then.

B & B - C Ringer is defending EJ and restoring her honour as my post of 3 Jan had gone unchallenged since.
I followed her in 2003 and she was not as honourable as she is now but then that is how Ospreys operate.
ChrisS have fun friend :)
please do not smile and anything you say is on record and at a latter date comes back to judge lol
coat on and away and never coming back. lol
Welcome lol
Why do you still say EJ was not as honourable in 2003 as she is now Ketih?
Some people think Ospreys are a matter of life and death. I don't like that attitude. I can assure them it is much more serious than that.
I just think back then and in her early years she was not too fussy who her partners were and what nest she wanted to be in.
2004 Didn't she mate with three differing males in her own bed.
Things do change however and she is a favourite of mine.
Well in 2003 we couldnt understand why she had landed at LG when she had her own nest. A quick survey revealed her nest had been blown down over the winter. It was repaired and as soon as this had been done she was back on it.
In 2004 H was late back and she mated with her previous male from her old nest - with respect she was receptive to mating and couldnt know that H was on his way. A floosy? I don't think so. A very intelligent female osprey doing what she could to promote her own genes. I think the charge of 'being a villain' has been dismissed due to lack of evidence. Anything further to add before the jury retire to consider the charge of being 'dishonourable? before they then laugh it out of court' :-)
Yes I accept 2004 not knowing Henry was on his way and settled with Orange VS.
What about the other unringed male and the battle of them all afterwards.
No I never would dare say Floosy.
As I have said that is what Ospreys do and is part of my fascination in them. Maybe then a reduced charge may be considered Sir.
Excellent progress as to 2004 and Orange VS.
As to the unringed male - what year are you referring to and at what site? My client wil need to consult her diary before giving me instructions.
Sorry - I have just re-read your post of 9.40 pm and assume that you are talking about 2004. No, she only mated with OVS and Henry - see www.osprey2005.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/LochGarten2004.pdf
Charge withdrawn yet? You are in danger of being ordered to pay the costs.
Read my first witness Chloe Bs Site for 2004 reference Unringed Male.
LG 2004
Is your client accepting a charge of three in her bed in 2004.
