Goshawk Nest Camera

A Rare Glimpse of an Elusive Raptor

The Northern Goshawk is a master of the woodland, weaving silently between the trees in pursuit of prey. Sightings in the wild are exceptionally rare, which makes this live nest camera a truly privileged view into the private life of one of the UK's most impressive birds of prey.

Deep in the Caledonian Forest

The nest sits within the ancient pinewoods of the RSPB Abernethy reserve, part of the wider Loch Garten landscape in the Cairngorms. These remnant Caledonian pine forests are among the most precious wild habitats in the country, home to red squirrels, crested tits and pine martens alongside the goshawks.

What You Might See

Goshawks maintain several nests across their territory, and activity at this platform can be sudden and fleeting. With patience, viewers may witness adults arriving with prey, the careful tending of eggs, or growing chicks stretching their wings before they fledge into the surrounding trees.

Conservation in Action

This camera is part of the RSPB's long-running effort to protect Scotland's rarest wildlife and to share it with audiences worldwide. By watching, you join a global community helping to celebrate and safeguard one of Britain's most secretive raptors.
