Ospreys Nesting Above Llyn Brenig

A Living Osprey Nest

This camera looks directly onto an osprey nest perched atop a weathered pine, a sprawling platform of branches the birds rebuild and defend through each breeding season. Watch the adults deliver fresh-caught trout and carefully tend their growing chicks.

The Llyn Brenig Reservoir

Llyn Brenig is one of the largest reservoirs in Wales, spanning the wild uplands on the border of Conwy and Denbighshire. Its cold, clear waters supply the region and create a rich hunting ground for fish-eating birds.

Wildlife of the Denbigh Moors

The surrounding Mynydd Hiraethog moorland is home to red kites, buzzards and black grouse. The reservoir margins draw herons, waterfowl and otters, making the whole basin a haven for upland wildlife.

A Conservation Milestone

Ospreys returned to breed here after an absence of centuries, and the nest is now a flagship of the Brenig Osprey Project. The live cam lets viewers worldwide follow this remarkable recovery in real detail.
