See birds of prey close up in their own environment
Around Scotland, ospreys, peregrine falcons and white-tailed sea eagles breed in our forests between April and August. As well as the dedicated viewing centres and hides that you can visit, our webcams, blogs and twitter posts will keep you up to date with how the birds and their broods are getting on.
Osprey watching
There are two dedicated osprey viewing centres:
-
Aberfoyle ospreys at David Marshall Lodge in Aberfoyle, and
-
Tweed Valley Osprey Project at Glentress Peel in Glentress Forest and Kailzie Gardens near Peebles in the Tweed Valley.
At both centres you can see live video camera footage of the birds and learn more about them. During the breeding season we've got webcam footage and there are regular updates on the osprey blogs:
