#571: Live Ospreycam

One resource that may be used when preparing to teach the GCSE Natural History will be webcams or streams which show wildlife and environments. I can imagine creating a wall of webcams.

The Norfolk Wildlife Trust has shared a new live webcam of an osprey pair who successfully fledged two chicks at NWT Ranworth Broad and Marshes in 2025, making the nature reserve the first known site in the region to make a home for breeding osprey in hundreds of years.

Just before the birds returned this spring, NWT carefully installed a wildlife camera that offers views into the nest the pair used in 2025, which will be streamed online thanks to support from NWT corporate partners, MelBek.

The avian couple returned to Ranworth Broad nature reserve in late March, making 2026 the fourth consecutive year that the site has welcomed a pair of osprey. They settled back into the same nest site as last year, within close sight of the new camera.
The osprey pair has already been seen settling into life in Norfolk, feathering their nest, hunting for fish, and laid three eggs! 

Watch the live camera stream to stay updated on their journey.


I've been a member of the Norfolk Wildlife Trust for over 25 years. You can join them here for just a small monthly fee which gives access to all of their reserves including the place that started it all: Cley next the Sea.
