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.
Our nest camera in the Scottish Highlands shows osprey family life unfold each summer.
Check out our osprey FAQs for more information about the birds, our camera and Loch Arkaig.
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.
The ospreys have now left for the year after successfully raising one male chick called Ludo this summer. We look forward to the return of the adult pair in spring 2024.
We protect, plant and care for woods across the UK, from incredible temperate rainforests and precious ancient woodlands, to rare Caledonian pinewoods like Loch Arkaig. They're havens for threatened red squirrels, mighty centuries-old trees and countless other species that can't survive without them. But we can't keep them safe without your support.
Please donate to help us continue our vital work.
