It's almost like being there. You can nearly smell the Caledonian pines, hear the squirrels scampering among the branches and feel the cold air on your face...

We've been entranced by our new live, streaming video webcam. It's on our reserve at Abernethy Forest in the Scottish Highlands and the stars of the show are red squirrels, coal tits, great spotted woodpeckers and even the occasional crested tit.

Before, you needed to visit the forests of northern Scotland to watch crested tits in this country, but now all you have to do is turn on your computer and head for our website! You could also see the squirrels chasing each other up and down, swarms of coal tits in a feeding frenzy and perhaps even a pine marten - their droppings have been found at the foot of the tree!

We hope you'll enjoy watching the webcam - don't forget to tell us what you've seen...

Be warned: it is quite addictive.
