Hi everyone,
Well, the team are busy packing up the centre for the season and we're all trying not to think about tomorrow, which is their last day on contract. I am intending to do an Ode to Team 2016 in due course, but as I have a minute now, I thought I'd just quickly drop you a line to explain (as if you didn't know) that we're still having trouble with the feeder web-cam and at the moment, we're unsure where the fault lies.
However, I'm really, really (you can't imagine how really!) delighted to be able to tell you that we are in the very early stages of getting satellite internet installed. The budget has been okayed and we're just waiting for a timeline for the installation. I sincerely hope that this will mark the end of our significant web-cam woes and that we will be able to offer images to equal the other UK osprey nests, not to mention have a feeder cam image so fine you'll be able to see the red squirrel's whiskers. So, watch this space and thank you for sticking with us! I'll keep you informed of any significant dates and needless to say, you'll be the first to hear when we have a broadcast date.
Cheers
Jess
