Osprey Cam
Having failed to breed, and abandoned the nest, we thought that was it for our Ospreys this year. However, our usual male (yellow 80) has once again returned, having been seen in Cumbria, and he has brought a new mate back to the nest. They have been reinforcing their pair bonds and fixing up the nest so we are hopeful for next year.
You can see the Ospreys on our live camera feed in the Visitor Centre Coffee Shop every day. They leave the nest to fish, but return throughout the day giving fantastic views.
