Lolly, that's a really good first effort and especially for this time of year in Scotland! :D The brightness and size of the LCD display on cameras does make the shot look much better than it would on a full sized computer. I've taken many shots which I thought were great 'on camera'...

If you are looking out the window at the wind and rain and want to know what is happening on Wallasea Island, or you are separated from us by land or sea ( hello Burnham and Banbridge!), there is a nice dry, comfortable way to see the what is happening on the island. Regular visitors may have noticed...

After a fascinating few weeks its time to say goodbye to our webcam and three (not so) little stars. The chicks are now three months old and will soon be independent from their parents. They are spending less and less time on the nest - only feeding there occaisonally. Its a quieter time for us now...

This week is your last chance to see the Manchester peregrine chicks. Since they fledged back in June, they've been busy taking lessons from mum and dad on how to fend for themselves, but once they've learnt the necessary survival skills, they'll be off to make their own way in the world...

The Aberdeen red kite webcam is not showing live footage today as there is a power cut at VSA Easter Anguston Farm for maintenance work on the cables. As you've probably seen the young kites are spending lots of time away from the nest (probably in nearby trees) but come back in regularly as they...

Keep an eye on the webcam guys ... Both parents have been adding some finishing touches to the nest today...

Firstly, apologies for the lack of blogging; I'm having trouble with the laptop at home and as you can imagine I'm not in the office much at this time of year! Our webcam stars seem to have flown the nest, but are coming back in regularly for food and to roost at night. This morning I was...

Hi everyone, Guess what? Now you can keep up with Saltholme's wildlife 24 hours a day. The Saltholme webcam has just gone live. The current stars are a family of swallows nesting underneath the swing-bridge (the bridge you walk over to get into the visitor centre). If you've visited...

Now the kestrels have fledged, the team at Arne are providing yet more live footage, this time with barn owls!!! Have a look at our webcams page here and also have a look at the Arne group pages here . I was watching them for a few minutes earlier and they were fascinated by a fly buzzing around the...

Well, I'm sure you've all been as glued to your computer screens/laptops/fancy phones as I've been, watching our three Aberdeen Red Kite chicks (live on our webcam!!!) grow from fluffy cute little white bundles to almost adult size, with a wingspan of around 5ft 7, in just six weeks! Over...

As I'm sure all of you have noticed by now the 3 young kites in the nest have been tagged. Last Friday morning we went with our climbers and quickly tagged, ringed and measured the kites. The tags are C1, C2 and C3. This year's colour is white which stands out quite nicely. From the measurements...

4 kestrel chicks and one unhatched egg. RSPB Arne, Dorset, UK. 13/06/11.

With peregrine chicks fledging left, right and centre, we're keeping a keen eye on the Manchester chicks to see when they decide to take the plunge. There's been some encouraging signs over the last few days with plenty of wing flapping and 'test flights' along their ledge which makes...

Hope you've managed to have a look at the red kite webcam http://www.rspb.org.uk/ourwork/projects/details/274636-aberdeen-red-kite . Its a first for Scotland and we're all getting addicted! I find myself logging on to the computer all through the day to check on them. Not much happening at the...

If you can take your eyes off the goings on at Loch Garten for a few minutes, it's well worth having a look at the webcam for the new forest goshawks. Today the female is being really cooperative and is looking towards the camera! Have a look here . Make sure you have the sound on, the amount...

Dear Miss Kimbo. Yes, there are peregrines that can be seen around the Barbican and St Paul's area. John B is quite right in saying there are more than 20 breeding pairs now living in Greater London and we're now in to the breeding season. The pair you have seen will be the subject of our...

HeatherB : Is your computer still not showing the LG nest live webcam? I lost it yesterday and had the blank box with the small cross that you described, but, I got it back. Can you provide some details? You have Vista, but which browser are you using (IE, Firefox etc.) and which version? Also which...

If you have access to one of the above, it would be worth checking out the videos that have been posted by members. On a large screen TV, such as a plasma, the picture is streamed direct from your home network router to the recorder via an Ethernet cable and an HDMI cable to the TV. The normal functionality...

Some say a peregrine falcon is a vicious killer, a speedster of the skies, terror and plunderer, ripper of feather and flesh. Not so I. For I call it a back-from-the-brink miracle, a wonder to behold, a tender parent. Lucky me: I call it work!

Some say a peregrine falcon is a viscious killer, a speedster of the skies, terrorising and plundering as it rips through feather and flesh. Not so. I call it a back-from-the-brink miracle, a wonder to behold, a tender parent. I call it work.
