LLYN BRENIG

4 watching now apparently but the cam doesn't seem very 'live' to me. The water isn't moving!

Valerie says on the 'other' thread that this cam stutters. So it does but it's great that it's there

Thank you Cirrus - the goose is back now !!!

Must have missed it. Oh well

Last season I used to get hours and hours of still picture 

Thanks for starting the thread !!!  But your cam link is already out-of-date - best to post the Channel page link.

EDIT - The state of the current live stream:

Sadly, the picture is much the same today

I've written this little intro to Llyn Brenig. Not sure how to start a new thread - Can this be edited into the first post on this thread? 

Llyn Brenig is a reservoir on the border between Denbighshire and County Conwy in North Wales. It is managed by Welsh Water;  the osprey project is a partnership between them and North Wales Wildlife Trust.

One pair of ospreys raised a single chick here each year from 2018-2020. Neither of this pair returned in 2021, when the nest was taken over by 2 Scottish birds, LJ2 (male) and LM6 (female), both 2018 chicks. The nest was vandalised the night after LM6 had laid her first egg; while the two could not continue to breed they did stay close to the site until normal migration time.

A new nest has been erected in 2022 with additional security and a streaming camera is in place. A new hide has also been built.

Llyn Benig are seeking volunteers for an on-line osprey watch overnight. Note from the Project FB page below

North Wales Wildlife Trust are looking for volunteers to be part of a team providing protection of the ospreys’ nest site. Extra on-site security measures have also been put in place.
You could help to protect the ospreys by:
> Watching the osprey nest between the hours of 6pm and 8am, using online footage from the safety of your own home
> Committing to watch the birds for 2-hour slots (or multiples thereof); booking them in advance
> Reporting any imminent danger to the birds immediately.
> Reporting wider signs of suspicious activity.
> Completing a simple online report at the end of your ‘shift’
> Full training having been given by NWWT and North Wales Police.
For more info and a registration from please contact Mark.Roberts@northwaleswildlifetrust.org.uk

Thank you AG. I think we are unwittingly doing this already on many nests. I remember Clywedog - the walker - and LotL - the canoeist. It's the commitment to guarantee to be available regularly that would be my problem. But what a brilliant scheme.
