Things are hotting up......


Dave Farmer paid a visit to the Cathedral yesterday lunchtime and took these photos, the first time he has managed to capture this particular aspect of the breeding season!

He was very pleased with the resulting images as are we!
Just waiting now until that snow melts....

Yesterday she was seen on the platform kicking gravel (and snow) from the area where we hope eggs will be laid....look at the web cam and you can see gravel on top of the snow.


And before the 9 o'clock watershed too!

Hi
Even after downloading and viewing on Chrome, I still can’t open the second camera view on my iPad.
Any advice please? All I can see this morning is her back, it would be good to see the whole bird!

Thanks Emma

Hi Emma, have you tried the Puffin browser? I used to use it for multiple webcams but there is a subscription fee! Unfortunately you won't get a view just now as cam #2 is offline!

Emma said...

Thanks Wendy, I’ll look into that. Just seen her being very vocal. Not sure if that’s egg laying behaviour! Is camera 2 offline all the time at the moment or just this morning?

Was just a blip today Emma, came back on but there's no night vision!

Wendy Bartter said...

Have seen her on scrape lots of time today, sounding a bit desperate now!
