I think this will be an interesting season at Loch Arkaig - who is going to take residence is the big question?
For me it doesn't matter who, just as long as the nest is occupied.

Is that an owl holding a toy rabbit?

Thanks Jill!
I missed the Wren entirely, but late morning found a major nest invasion by a Coal Tit

We are very excited to share with you a first view of Nest Camera 2 at Loch Arkaig Pine Forest!
This is the nest where Louis and Dorcha raised chicks Aspen and Alder last year.
This summer we plan to stream from this nest AND our original nest.
As the season progresses we may revert to just one camera depending on what osprey action there is. But if both nests are occupied - we will aim to livestream from both cameras.
We will be referring to our original nest, occupied by Louis and Aila from 2017 to 2020 as Camera 1 - and this new location as Camera 2.
Join us on our new double live-streaming webpage launching later this week - then watch and wait with us to find out who returns to which nest!
