Take a sneak peek into the amazing wildlife of the Loch Arkaig pine forest with our live Osprey Cam, supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery.
This year, a live nest camera will allow us to keep a close-eye on an osprey pair who have been returning to Loch Arkaig for more than 10 years. The pair failed to breed last year but we’re hopeful that 2017 will be different. Can you help us chart significant moments in their life?

Good work setting this page up MaryGK. Fingers crossed this will be a successful pairing, there will be eggs this season and in turn another established pair for the years to come.
He just came back with a fish and then took off with it, sorry I didn't get a screengrab. The female is screeching for it.
He is back minus the fish LOL.... and another failed mating attempt.
Thanks Mary for this thread. Thanks for all the pics and posts and I'm delighted Louis has found himself a girlfriend!!

I've started recording too, MARY, Glaslyn has been dislodged to make way :( She's got her fish! From her reaction I thought he'd taken it away :-/
IMAGICAT
Yes its great that she has finally got half a fish. I think maybe I was looking at a recording when I seen the failed mating attempt earlier LOL...
Lets hope they settle down now, and Louis gets a bit better at the mating and bringing in the fish Ha Ha....
Thanks for starting this thread Mary ... I have been watching for past week on & off after it being brought to my attention by the guy who set up the cam ... I have emailed him re the sound question & will let you know what he says, I can't get sound either!
Glad to hear you are recording Scylla, saves me a job! Lol
Did get some footage off the rewind facility & will try to upload a bit later (in between Peregrine hatchings!)
Exciting to be in on a new venture though & see that beautiful scenery shown in your pics Mary (wherever you purloined them from!). Good enough to frame & hang on the wall!

Hi Wendy
I am getting sound alright on my PC, it is only when I am recording, and its nothing to do with their site, its to do with my software, for some strange reason if I set it to record in one mode which includes sound the file is huge despite it only being a minute long. If I set it to record without sound it is a smaller file and uploads in 5 to 10 minutes.
Very strange. So if I record I will do it without sound now.
I'm not sure she is best impressed with half a fish lol.
