Osprey Nest Atop a Telecom Mast

An Osprey Eyrie on a Telecom Mast

This camera is mounted on a telecommunications mast that an osprey pair has adopted as the foundation for their large stick nest. Such tall artificial structures are increasingly favoured by ospreys across Europe, providing the commanding height and stability the birds instinctively seek.

Western Poland's Open Countryside

The mast rises above the farmland near Rościce, in the Lubusz region of western Poland. A patchwork of fields, meadows and woodland spreads to the horizon, with rivers and lakes nearby that supply the fish-rich waters ospreys depend on for hunting.

Conservation and the Osprey

The osprey (Pandion haliaetus) is a rare and strictly protected raptor in Poland, and dedicated conservation projects install nest platforms on tall structures to help the species recover. This feed lets viewers follow the everyday rhythms of nest-building, incubation and chick-rearing.

What You Can Watch

Expect close-up views of adult ospreys and their growing young, from the delivery of fresh prey to the first wing-stretching exercises of the juveniles. The elevated vantage also reveals the sweeping rural landscape that frames this remarkable nest.
