DAILY UPDATES - Loch Garten nest - August to cam shut-down 2019

I loved it! I spotted a female bullfinch, dunnock/hedge sparrows and linnet, as well as a grey squirrel.

And I got Stonestart, or perhaps it was Redchat. A bit difficult to tell as it was only a fleeting glimpse.

Sadly, still no cam.

And even more sadly, no update from anyone. 

I’ve emailed Jess at Loch Garten to see if she can clarify the latest situation about the webcams, as Carnyx Wild haven't posted for quite a while. Hope Jess can get in touch.

I spoke to Peter yesterday and it is still 'work in progress'. His engineers fitted the 'gizmo' but it would not lock on to the satellite. They have fitted another and now there is an issue with the cable from the dish to the modem so they are still working on it.

Morning Mike
And Thanks for the update, so sorry for everyone endeavouring to get us back up and running,

Technology today ever more sophisticated, but a nightmare when there is a fault, am sure with Peters guidance we will be back viewing before long.

Hi Kate. "The Gods" certainly seem to be against Peter and his team. So frustrating for all concerned, just one issue after another.

Hello guys,

Just a quick update. There has not been much action surrounding the nest in recent days. We have been getting some fly pasts and some interest being shown, but no ospreys being able to be identified. Most ospreys will be heading south on their journeys now that the season is coming to an end. Our internet appears to have crashed and the thinking is that the wires for the satellite have been chewed by some cheeky mice. Will let you know if anything else happens on the nest!

Today's the day that an engineer is due to re-focus the satellite dish (or something like that). Whether he'll be able to fix chewed cables is another matter :-/
