This live camera is aimed at a feeding spot for red squirrels in the Ballachulish area, close to the head of Loch Leven in the Scottish Highlands.

About Ballachulish and Loch Leven
Ballachulish is a small village on the southern shore of Loch Leven, where the sea loch meets the mountains of Lochaber. It sits at the edge of the Glencoe area, one of Scotland's best-known glens, and the surrounding landscape is wooded hillside, water and open moorland. The red squirrel is native to Britain and is much rarer today than the grey squirrel, so woodland areas like this one matter to conservation.
What to watch and when
The camera is pointed at a feeder, so activity depends on the squirrels visiting it and on the weather. Red squirrels are most active in the early morning and in the late afternoon, and they tend to move more on calm, dry days. Winter can be quieter, while spring and autumn often bring more visits as the animals search for food and nesting material.
Practical notes and nearby cameras
The Highlands have a cool, wet, changeable climate, so pack waterproof clothing whatever the season. Summer days are long and mild, which suits walking and wildlife watching. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Glencoe, Corran, Fort William and the Nevis Range, which together give a good picture of the area before you travel.
