Previous history of these cams, for those interested:
[2 May 2021 - Dave Dobbin reports the View 1 is still *NOT* working,
and View 2 "is pointing at the ground through a tree so there is nothing to see". What fun with these!] [20 Jan 2019 - OK, now View 1 is *NOT* working and View 2 IS working]; [16 Dec 2016 - View 2 *NOT* working since at least 16 Nov 2016 - thanks
to Ronald Pakker for pointing this out.]
- [15 Feb 2016 - Thanks to Ronald Pakker for alerting me that webcams were available
again (though he says they may not work with Internet Explorer 11).
They had been not working at least as of 11 Jun 2015; were
intermittent as of 15 Mar 15.
In the past, thanks to Paul Eyre for informing me of the latest failure of these
cams, thanks to Ronald Pakker for alerting me that he could see an image,
thus prompting my further testing, and thanks to Brian Mansergh for originally pointing out this one,
and to Andrew Cooley for pointing out the multiple views,
