This Link takes you to the Osprey Webcam at the RSPB Loch Garten Centre during the Osprey breeding season. Currently it is pointing at the feeder just outside the centre and a variety of birds, and some Red Squirrels, can be seen using it. Just this morning I've seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker and several Coal Tits on it. Although the centre is closed until next year, the path is still open so people can go up to the centre and watch what's happening on the feeders, depending on where they stand, they can also be seen.

Thank you Audrey, the feeder is absolutely full of birds at the moment. Anyone would think it's mid winter.

Thanks everyone, when it's working it's a great webcam, sometimes there are technical problems, often weather-related. I'm actually surprised it kept working through storm Ali as we had some pretty strong winds.
Jen, we'll soon be past the equinox and will have shorter daylight and longer dark than down south, unlike during summer when the north is lighter than the south for longer.
The weather has been a bit weird today, the wind has died down, but we've had heavy rain and brilliant sunshine, often at the same time! It has just gone cloudy and murky and it looks like it's going to chuck it down.
I've been doing my volunteer admin at the Insh Marshes office today, so not much time to look at the webcam, there were a couple of Buzzards flying overhead when I was outside eating lunch though.

My daughter ( from OZ ,and her OH ) couldn't believe how light it was in the evenings , 23.00 and we were still sitting talking , until they realised the time .... and in the mornings when it was light at 0300 and the birds were singing away This morning the cam did appear to go down for a while , unless it was my broadband . The screen was also a bit blurred because there was a strong wind . Now it's very clear , no wind at all By the way , is it you who climbs up the tree to fill the feeder .. it appears to be quite high
