In partnership with BBC Cumbria and with funding from Natural England the webcam provides a daily update from the osprey's nest in Dodd Wood.

The webcam is updated every 10 minutes from 10am until around 3pm

The webcam view will change periodically as we have added two new camera angles and a zoom camera.

Please note that occasionally, due to the remote location of the equipment, an image is not uploaded and an image number(s) may be skipped. If coloured bars are shown where the picture should be, this is due to the equipment, which is battery powered, having to recharge.

For the technically interested the image is sent from the nest camera via cable to the nest security team, then by cable to a microwave dish where it is bounced across Bassenthwaite Lake to Dodd Wood and then back across the lake again to Whinlatter Visitor Centre. Once at Whinlatter the signal is split with one going to the Exhibition in the centre and a second signal is sent by satellite broadband, thanks to Ethnet , to the internet where it is hosted by BBC Cumbria.
