Thank you Mike. A big sigh.

So many malfortunes to occur at this most renowned site this year. I am sure RSPB will have the facilities to find a replacement computer very speedily and that we will get an update to the blog soon to advise on any action that the staff / volunteers have observed while the camera has been offline.

I totally agree with Scylla's reply 

Hello all,

Thanks for bearing with us. Peter is currently sending us a replacement laptop that we can use to stream the webcam. We are doing a lot of work on the reserve at the moment to prepare for the influx of visitors that will arrive over the summer months so your patience is welcomed. Julie has been down at the centre most days in preparation for opening and has seen a male sky dancing intermittently. Strangely it can almost appear like he is sky dancing while on the move as is he is prospecting the nest for a mate but hasn't chosen to settle. We haven't observed an osprey on the nest since the cameras went down but they have certainly been interested in the area. We are keeping our fingers crossed and have closed the path up to the Nature Centre to the public to reduce the chances of disturbance. Peter thinks the computer should be with us in two days and if I am able to work some tech wizardry I might be able to get it online without Peter needing to pay a visit. Thanks once again for all your support. It was lovely to share the excitement of ospreys at Garten with you once again! I will endeavour to bring the cameras back online as soon as I can.

Fergus

Thanks for all updates re camera situation. We await with baited breath!!

TO ALL.
Peter rang me a short while ago to confirm what Fergus has said. A computer is winging its way to LG and it is hoped, subject to prompt delivery, and then installation, that we might have LS by the weekend.
Peter is clearly very sorry for this state of affairs and I have thanked him for letting us know. He has asked me to post on his behalf which I gladly do.

This final sentence is mine and mine alone!
I am convinced this is NOTHING WHATEVER to do with Peter, but as is so typical of him, he is trying to pick up the pieces.

Thank you, Fergus and 25mac and Mike for the updates.

I hope Peter is using   shipping
