Looking forward to the webcam starting up - hopefully just a couple of weeks to wait, its getting exciting now that the Osprey season is almost upon us.

Thanks for the new thread, Mary, and for the pic and the links.

Locheilnet the company who provide the Broadband for the Loch Arkaig nest have launched a new website, some beautiful photo's on it as well as some interesting information about how it all works.
I find it so amazing that the Loch Arkaig webcam despite being so remote provides such wonderful resolution and reliability.

Geemeff said:Not long now - last year, the camera went live 12th March, Louis returned 5th April followed by Aila the next day 6th April. Both arrived on 5th April in 2019 so only about a month to go. Exciting!
