Poole Harbour Osprey Nest Camera - Aerial View

Welcome to the Poole Harbour Osprey Nest Camera! This nest is home to Blue CJ7 (female) and Blue 022 (male), who last year became the first Ospreys to breed in Southern England in almost two centuries!

Join us as we sit back and enjoy watching the dramas of a new season unfold, on our brand new DOUBLE CAMERA SETUP now with SOUND INCLUDED! After a lot of hard work we're absolutely thrilled to be able to share these two new views of the nest with you all, and we hope it will make for an even better viewing experience than previous years! You can view the landscape view camera here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKisg9qVeHg
