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.

Yes it hardly seems possible. Once it was a very long time.
Down to six weeks until EJ arrives, hopefully. I do not suppose she will be back for Mother's Day but who knows?
The time is very short now.
Hooray & Yipee!
Surely EJ must be on her way north any day now?
I used to have so many mixed feelings about tracking...still have reservations now, especially with juves...but how I wish EJ was tracked!

We are into March now and the time for EJ to return is ever closer. She arrived on 27th March ( or was it 25th) last year this means almost three weeks to go. I am so looking forward to seeing her again.
It is mother's day on Sunday. EJ might like some cards even though she will not get them for a while.
So where is EJ now? She arrived late on 25th March last year. So is flying up through England just now?
One point to consider is that EJ was late away last year due to her having to look after the bairns. Now an American male called bluebeard was delayed in leaving to look after an incompentant chick. Now the following year Bluebeard was late returning and his nest failed. Now I know it is not proof but it will be interesting to see if EJ arrives early as usual or is delayed.
Meanwhile here is the story of Bluebeard. See http://www.bioweb.uncc.edu/bierregaard/maps04/332-040917.htm
EJ usually arrives in the late afternoon.
