Osprey & Badger Cam
The male returned recently and has been tidying up the nest ready for his mate. A female, possibly not our regular female, arrived and the pair have mated. We will have to wait and see what happens next. Our Osprey Nest Camera is up and running in the Visitor Centre Coffee Shop. We hope to be able to show it online soon, but problems with our internet connection means we can't at the moment. This also means that, for the moment, we can't show Badger Cam. We are working on the problem and will hopefully have them online soon.
