Annette: Thank you so much for that. Just shows you're never too old to learn.

Hazlewoods - SWT have warned all viewers about not publishing snaps of their copyright pictures. This even means that a shot of a monitor is illegal, if it happens to be carrying an image produced or owned by them (or anyone else claiming copyright ownership)! You will need to consider what is shown on the monitor if you want to post any more photos of it. This situation has taxed quite a few of us in rcent weeks, but we should respect the formal position and SWT's request to abide by their conditions.
Wrinklie: You're welcome!
Hazelwoods: Tempting though it is to search for loopholes, I'm sure Eagle-Eye is correct that lovely pix of your monitor are probably not "on" as far as SWT is concerned. :-) or is it :-( ?
So I'm seeing a listing for just one Loch of Lowes cam on the SWT site. But wait! On another page there's a listing for LOTL Cam 1 and Cam 2, but when you select Cam 1, you get a "whoops, can't find the page" note. I notice some posts about the cams earlier today. When I select Cam 2, it won't load, which is happening a lot these days. If I didn't know better, I'd wonder if SWT isn't actively trying to discourage viewers.
OK, so now it's made a liar of me and loaded, but just blackness where the nest was 30 minutes ago, except for the logo. Curiouser and curiouser....
Looks like the night cam isn't on :-( I'm an adult I can take the Lady of the Loch swearing and rudely gesticulating because of the weather ;-)
Warning! This post contains atrocious spelling, and terrible grammar. Approach with extreme edginess.
Annette:
The LOTL blog had an explanation for the cameras. They are repairing one camera and are just using the one and switching between night and day. I believe it's the cam 2 (but I could be wrong on that)
Just looked back in and notice not much has been happening - probably because of the wind.
Tried to get one of the cams up just now and only a blackness appears - oh well, try again tomorrow.
Looked at LG too - still terrifically windy there too - EJ had a job staying on the nest at times during the day.

bjane: Thank you - I'd looked (I thought) at the latest blog but didn't see anything about the camera. Probably looking at wrong day, etc.
The LotL nest is fairly taking a good test in this morning's wind.
Rumble! Blow! Whistle! Whoosh! Sway! etc
Lady Marge on nest with fish! :-)
Thanks Heron for update.
Rainspots on cam so a bit blurred but she is tucking into that fish.
