Are you ready for the AlfrescoWild Challenges?
WildlifeKate Live Cameras
I have set wildlife cameras up at my home in South Wales, at Yew View (a large private site I manage for wildlife) and in other locations in the UK and further afield. Each live stream has a dedicated page, providing more information and footage captures. I will be regularly adding to these.
During the nesting season, more cameras will come on line, allowing you to follow the nesting stories of different species.
I also, share some of my favourite cams from other parts of the world, with permission from the providers!
I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I do!
Gwyllt Hollow Sitting Room Nuthatches
This novel nest box interior has attracted a pair of nuthatches. I have never filmed them before, so looking forward to following their story!
Update: The 5 nuthatch chicks fledged successfully on the 6th & 7th June. The adult is roosting in the box at night.

Gwyllt Hollow Mouse House
When I went to revamp an old mammal box, I found some wood mice had set up home and built a nest. I quickly screwed a mini PTZ cam into the roof to see what was happening!
Will they raise a family in here? What happens in a mouse house?

Coming soon!
It's been my first nesting season here at Gwyllt Hollow and I've been pretty pleased. I have had 2 failed tit nests, but successful blue tit, great tit, nuthatch and wren nests with cameras on them. I've learnt a lot this year and will look forward to greater things next year!

YEW VIEW CAMERAS
Yew View is a site I work at in Worcestershire. It is 9 acres managed with wildlife in mind. My move to S Wales has meant that I can't get there every week now, but I am still trying to be on site 2 or 3 times a month, to maintain the cameras and create new habitats for wildlife.

Swallow nest
This swallow is nesting in one of the stables at Yew View. The numbers here dropped dramatically in the last few years, but we have a slight increase this year and I managed to get a camera on this female. Her eggs hatched on the 17th July. The stable can be dark, so sometimes the image may be in black & white

Badger Feeding Station
Many of you will have seen the story of the Yew View badger cubs on Springwatch. In 2022, Peggy gave birth in our artificial sett; something that had never been filmed before!
You can watch Peggy and the cubs, along with foxes and muntjac, visit the feeding station in the evenings.

GUEST LIVE CAMERAS
There are some amazing live wildlife cameras online, some in different parts of the world, that I absolutely love. Many are run by enthusiasts, like myself. In all cases, I contact the owner and ask if they would allow me to share their camera with my audience. Check out the pages to find out more about them! As many are in a different time zone, it allows us to watch daytime wildlife when it is dark here. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
GUEST cam
Allen Cam - South Africa
This wonderful camera set-up with its incredible visitors is the work of Stuart Allen. I absolutely love them & I'm delighted to share them with you here on my website!
The feeding station attracts a mind-blowing array of birds during the day and then fabulous nocturnal visitors at night.

Scott's Birdwatching HQ - Ohio, USA
Scott's wonderful live feeding station is a delight to watch after it is dark here in the UK. He lives in northeast Ohio in a residential neighbourhood near the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. His live bird cam provides a great opportunity to observe wildlife up close and to learn about common bird species of the eastern United States.
