Even though it was very dark and overcast the pictures coming o...ut from the webcam were just brilliant the BBC team are working very hard getting the best of live action. You can watch the webcam from anywhere on Earth by going to http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/uk/webcams/ Please do leave questions and comments on the BBC Aut-Watch webcam messageboard you never know I might read out your question or comment.

This video marks the launch of the new Raptor project, which is a joint project between The Hawk and Owl Trust and The Mendip Hills AONB.  This project has its own Facebook page and website which are interlinked.  The main emphasis of this project apart from partnership working, is to raise the awareness for raptors within the AONB area, this is done by allowing people to participate in surveys, sending in sightings and most of all to let them take ownership of these special birds whether they live within, or close by, or work within the AONB.  Already its proving popular with many sightings coming in, and also lots of bookings on our night time Owl survey walks and daylight raptor walks.
