What exactly is the relationship between Carnyx Wild and RSPB?
Hi Mr C, not sure what you mean with regards to the relationship.
Carnyx Wild offer a web site which is enables broadcasters and media companies to access and download material relating to wildlife webcams and natural history programming.
Last year the RSPB ran A Date with Nature in the New Forest.
It was a joint venture and was provided by a partnership of the RSPB, Forestry Commission, New Forest National Park Authority and Carnyx Wild.newforestgateway.org is a community resource and image library. Log on to see live coverage of the New Forest Raptor Nestcams and see highlights from previous years.
Carnyx Wild provided a media section for journalists and broadcasters, which included downloadable screen-grabs and video links.
I'm sure you may get a more substantial answer from the RSPB Team regarding the relationship.
Regards Buzzard

Hi 'Mr C' I know Peter from Carnyx very well and he is the one that set up all the equipment at all their various sites have you looked at their others , they have cameras on South Stacks North Wales , Chichester Peregrines , London Peregrines , New Forest Goshawks , Blashford Lakes and more to come and of course Abernethy . As far as I understand and dont quote me please , that they just supply all the equipment for us to view the webcams , that is the connection not just with the RSPB but others as well , you can see from this link they have produced many films with Manuel Hinge http://www.newforestgateway.org/Wildcam/LiveCameras/tabid/117/Default.aspx

Thank you both for your replies.
I have done a bit of research previously and know what Carnyx do. However, following comments by bloggers about having a whip round to update the failing computer after recent problems,it occurred to me that the problems perhaps lay with Carnyx and not RSPB, or a mixture of both.
Did Carnyx install / does Carnyx maintain the hardware?
Anyhow, web footage has now been restored and I am grateful for that.
I first visited LG in 1979, I think, but only have vague memoriesof this. More recently, I last visited LG in April 2010 soon after the arrival of both birds.
i intend stopping off in July on my way to Orkney
