Feel for you and your frustrations Scylla
I don't have a recording of today's Arkaig happenings either :-(
I've changed over to Internet Explorer, in case it's a browser problem. I've never had this happen with any other cam.
Hilarious sequence, Mary--thanks!
Never mind, Scylla, can't have everything and you will probably successfully record many other hilarious events.
Kind regards, Ann
Aila is incubating and has been for a while. Louis appeared just over an hour ago but got the message and flew.
Birdies LG DU update.
Sorry to hear of your frustation's videoing this nest Scylla, I hope you get it sorted out.
Liz Bracken did a video of the incident and posted it on Friends of the Loch Arkaig FB group, so anyone who is a member there should be able to see it.
Aila still incubating like you described Mike.

Please see the times on these snaps:
Still nightcam:
Half-hourly auto-refresh:
Also, thoughout the day, long periods of buffering.
I'm bothering you with this because the only thing I can think of to do is to experiment with a different cam, which I shall now set up :(((
Wrong thread! Too excited ;)
