Edinburgh Zoo Penguin cam

Do you mean take a photo and post it Doogs?

If so I use MWsnap3 - I think WS has posted how to do this somewhere on a thread.

Will go and have a look now.

I downloaded it for free Doogs

And then if you look under 'How do I' thread WS has posted how to upload photos.

Any problems Doogs give us a shout

Its been another great year for Penguin egg laying at Edinburgh Zoo, and there is still time for more to arrive! The first chicks should start to hatch from late April onwards. The incubation period is around 35 days from eggs being laid to hatching

Although there are lots of eggs, a significant number of these will not result in adult birds due to not being viable, breakages, and, as with any new borns, some will not make it to adulthood. That said we will still hope to be left with lots of new additions to our colony!

Lai

Whooo We'll have to see if we can get some Pics of the little Pengys when they arrive, should be any time now
WS

I am so excited about the hatching of these eggs.....lots of little Penguins, its just

What's happened to the cam? Tried to check it just now and the page is a blank hoping it will be back on again later.

Lai

just checked and the page is up again now Lai but it's too dark for the cam but it is still running. Maybe it was just a hiccup or they were doing something with the cam.

Thanks for checking Littlewid - it must be me and my laptop since i updated windows a few days ago things have gone pear shaped. Will look into it as i still can't access it

Lai

Its up now, but not many visitors around, mind you it's a bit cool out side



WS

this is all i get on the page now


Lai

ps no problem with other webcams though

It's strange that you can't get it now Lai, maybe it is your settings or something. Remember the cam I couldn't get and then the one I could but couldn't take snaps from, its really annoying isn't it so i hope you get it sortd soon as it's a lovely cam.

thanks for the picture WS, it's a really nice one

I am hoping WS will come up with a suggestion/solution as I am i know i have just updated adobe and windows so it must be something to do with that, but all other cams are okay so it's odd

Lai

Not sure Lai ?. Did Adobe tell you it neede updating ? It runs on Adobe Flash Player. A one thing you can try is to uninstall Adobe Flash Player then re-install it. Ther is another option, but try that one first. You can download it from this link

Thanks WS - yes it did and so I did and now I wish I hadn't

I will uninstall and reinstall today and see what happens. Thanks for the advice.

Lai

Tried that and re-installed and still no luck, Pete is going to have a look tonight. I am as I was looking forward to the baby penguins!

Lai

Hmmmm may be it was the Windows update. You can try System restore, with that you can restore your system to a point before the updates where received, but its better done by someone who knows what they are doing or has done it before. Prahaps Pete knows how
WS

Thanks WS - I did think of that but then thought it could be a disaster, not so much on my laptop but on my pc at work. Pete got back late last night, train delayed as he'd been in London so I think I will have to ask him to take a look over the weekend.

Meantime it's over to you for penguin watch - oh and the other one i've lost is Slimbridge, two cams

Lai

Thats brilliant news doogs .....too late to check the cam now as it will be dark but will try and remember to check in the morning. Thanks for the news.

littlewid-x-

Wonderful news - thanks Doogs.

I get the chick counter on my screen but not the cam

Lai

Here they are this morning. The counter is still at 30 hatched and 6 chipping.
