Arkaig ospreys: Behind the scenes of a nest camera in the Scottish Highlands
No wi-fi, no plug sockets, no film crew. Meet the people behind the camera and explore the set of the UK's most remote family drama.
Discover how it's doneFollow the story of our resident osprey pair on our live nest cam, set deep in the heart of an ancient Caledonian pine forest.
Our live nest camera, supported by players of People's Postcode Lottery, has been streaming footage of breeding ospreys from Loch Arkaig Pine Forest since 2017.
Our resident pair, Louis and Aila, are expected to return to the nest in April to begin another breeding season. This will be their fifth year in the spotlight. In 2020 they successfully fledged three chicks, which were named Doddie, Vera and Captain by our camera viewers.
