Thanks, Richard. Are you volunteering there or just planning to visit now and then?

Kind regards, Ann

The new cams look soooo good!

I mourn the decommissioning of the Nightjar Nest I'd hoped they could keep it going but obviously they don't want to attract Osprey to a vulnerable site.

I work full time including being on a call out rota so no chance of any volunteering. Just observing for me.
I think Alison may be involved

Much better quality than before.

Night time pictures look good as well

They're using a 3rd party timeline on this nest (same as last season) but on the other nest they used the typical YouTube one (like on Arkaig) with shaded background, much clearer in all weathers at all times of day/night.

Thanks, Richard. Yes, I think she is involved. Fingers crossed that the first Osprey pair come back and have a successful nest and that a second pair appears--wouldn't that be great? Hope to catch up with you sometime on our visit later in the summer.

Kind regards, Ann

Nighcam on the aerial view is super-natural looking - here it was at midnight:

And here it is in the daytime

Yes, Richard and Ann, I will be volunteering for the project again. This will be my sixth year. Seems no time since the beginning, but equally so much has happened!

When it gets busy, I’m not sure how much I will be able to contribute to this thread, but I know all you regulars will be on top of everything.

Here’s hoping for a great season.
