Any news about the live webcams at Loch Garten?

You won't get anybody on the Arne feeder cam Scylla, all 3 feeders are empty

Well we did, Richard - here are a few of the disappointed customers this morning.  Is the empty tray weather-related, I wonder?  I'll try to remember to keep an eye on it, but don't want to add it to diownloads at the mo.

Ahhhh, such a shame . Why no food for the birdies? Is everyone off planet!

Right I am posting this on behalf of Jess Tomes as she cant get logged on . This is the link to the new webcam and her message - Hi folks, I've had word today from Wildlife Windows that our new osprey cam at Loch Garten has gone live today. I'm letting you know as I know there are many of you chomping at the bit to get a view of the nest - but you'll see it's a different nest this year! Fergus and I are doing a blog due to be published at the end of this week, but I didn't want to keep the web-cam from you till then, so here it is. I hope you like it!
It's close to the old nest and still viewable from the Nature Centre, but is in a completely healthy Scots pine, unlike the old nest, which only had one living limb.
We're obviously keen to attract a new breeding pair to this historic site, so have also thinned out the tree canopy surrounding the nest, after taking advice from Roy Dennis. NatureScot gave us consent to carry out both of these bits of work. The view from the centre isn't much different - there are still a lot of trees around, but at the nest itself it feels a lot more open.
Anyway, more detail to come, but in the meantime, enjoy the view!
And - Meant to add, in order to give any birds the best chance and not spook them, this camera is hidden in a stick and isn't infra-red. We didn't want to give a new pair any cause for concern, and the red light which shines on an infra-red camera could've done that - we just don't want to take any risks.

Thank you Valerie and Jess.

Isn't infra-red?  No nightcam ???

Words fail me.

Sound as well! Wonderful!

Jess has explained , it could spook the ospreys , I know the light on my trail cam spooks my foxes

I know, VALIERIE, but I'm devastated and had to let it all hang out.

So much happens at night...  Let's hope a pair of ospreys gets established and happy on the nest, then perhaps next season...

Thought I'd post my screenshot of the posh new nest here too
