The images are from cameras placed inside a Barn Owl nestbox on the island of Islay, Inner Hebrides, Scotland.
The 2010 season
For this third year of our owl cam, we now have three small cameras, giving excellent views of the whole box as well as high resolution pictures. The images should be in colour during the daytime and in black and white in the evening and at night.
Latest news - 3rd March 2010
A single owl has been roosting in the box from time to time. Following the cold winter - still continuing - we are not expecting much breeding activity just yet.
The Islay Natural History Trust is grateful to Scottish Natural Heritage for grant aid towards the costs of this project, and to Michael Thomson of Gribloch Design Ltd., Bowmore, for so willingly providing his technical skills. Bruichladdich Distillery were also very helpful in allowing Michael time off from his work for them to install and test the equipment. We also thank James Brown for a generous donation.
