Bird lovers can once again keep a 24 hour watch over a nest of rare Goshawks at Cwmcarn Forest.

A live webcam provides round the clock images of the nest at a secret location within the forest.

The Council, Forestry Commission Wales and Carnyx set up the 'nest-cam' for birdwatchers and visitors to Cwmcarn Forest to see the birds without disturbing them.

Known as 'the phantoms of the forest', only 500 breeding pairs of goshawks exist in the UK, so it is an amazing sight to be able to see these rare birds up close and personal via the 'nest-cam'.

This project is a partnership between Caerphilly County Borough Council, the  Forestry Commission Wales and Carnyx.
