Help us look after their home
Our experts are working to restore Loch Arkaig Pine Forest - our ospreys' home - for wildlife and visitors. But we can't do it without your support.
The story so far
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 camera will be live throughout the 2020 season to bring you a glimpse of forest life from the Scottish Highlands.
Our resident pair Louis and Aila have returned to the nest for 2020. Aila laid three eggs in May, and all three have now successfully hatched.
