Fidra Web Cam
The Scottish Seabird Centre is the world's number one remote wildlife viewing attraction. The webcam images refresh every five seconds and are transmitted live from our cameras. If they appear black, green or frozen, the cameras may have been switched off overnight or to allow researchers on the islands to carry out their work.
Half a mile from Yellowcraigs beach, the island of Fidra is an RSPB reserve and, reputedly the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island'. Fidra is a small attractive island about three miles from the Scottish Seabird Centre. With grassy slopes and cliffs, it is home to small populations of guillemots, razorbills, herring gulls and puffins. A pair of peregrine falcons have adopted a 'feasting perch' on Fidra, close to the camera and can be observed all year round, dining on their prey! During spring there are fantastic views of nesting fulmars.
For an unusual gift, why not adopt a Puffin? The Seabird Centre is an independent charity and all proceeds go towards the work of the charity.
The Scottish Seabird Centre gratefully acknowledges support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Scottish Natural Heritage and Tyne Esk Leader Funding in delivery of its conservation and education projects and events and exhibitions.
