About the #FoulshawOspreys
The ospreys that favour Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve, near Witherslack in Cumbria, as their breeding ground, migrate to their wintering grounds - most likely West Africa or Europe - in Autumn.
Which ospreys are featured on nest one camera?
Nest one is home to our established breeding pair:
- The male osprey, identified by his 'White YW' leg ring, hatched at Bassenthwaite in 2008.
- The female osprey, identified by her 'Blue 35' leg ring, hatched in 2010 at Kielder, Northumberland.

Which ospreys are on nest two camera?
Nest two is where a promising breeding pair have been strengthening their bond since 2025:
- The male osprey indentified by his leg ring 'Blue 476', hatched in 2021 at a private Cumbrian nest.
- The female osprey, identified as 'Blue 717' leg ring, hatched in 2022 in Fife, Scotland.
Without your support we couldn't set up, maintain and keep these cameras running.
If we raise more donations than is needed for this year’s osprey webcam, any additional funds will be used to protect Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve, on which the ospreys depend.
By supporting osprey cam, you're helping to protect the nest from anybody seeking to disturb it
