Loch Arkaig Osprey Nest Cam

An Ancient Caledonian Pinewood

Loch Arkaig Pine Forest is a remnant of the Caledonian pine forest that once covered much of the Scottish Highlands, now cared for by the Woodland Trust near Spean Bridge.

A Nest Watched Over by Conservationists

This live camera is trained on an osprey nest, offering a rare, intimate view of the breeding pair as they build, incubate, and raise their chicks high above the forest canopy.

A Flagship Osprey Recovery Story

Ospreys were driven to extinction in Scotland in the early 20th century before a natural recolonization began; the Loch Arkaig pair is one of the best-known symbols of that recovery.

Part of a Wider Conservation Landscape

The surrounding pine forest also shelters red squirrels, pine martens, and capercaillie, making the reserve a stronghold for native Highland wildlife beyond the nest itself.
