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 or you can watch the live video feed.

If you see a great image post it to the BBC Cumbria Osprey Flickr Gallery.

Thanks to the amazing technical whiz of the BBC Cumbria team you can now add the fantastic Osprey Widget to your blog or social media site and keep up to date with the Bassenthwaite Ospreys wherever you are. You can also subscribe to the Ospreys on Twitter.

Please note that occasionally, due to the remote location of the equipment, an image is not uploaded . If coloured bars are shown this is due to the equipment which is solar charged batteries having to recharge.

For the technically interested the image is sent from the nest cable to a microwave dish where it is bounced across Bassenthwaite Lake 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.
