Live CCTV feed shows osprey at Caerlaverock
The first osprey of 2009 returned to Caerlaverock yesterday. Live CCTV is broadcasting footage of her preening and re-arranging her next to screens in the Caerlaverock visitor centre. The CCTV feed has been set up in partnership with Forestry Commission Scotland and Scottish Natural Heritage.
It appears that the osprey is the female of a young pair which regularly return to Caerlaverock. Each year WWT staff and visitors eagerly wait to see whether they will breed and each year so far has been a disappointment. If they do breed it will be the first time ospreys have bred in Dumfriesshire in modern time.
Fingers crossed the male will return shortly and that this year will be the year they breed successfully!
