Live Wildlife Cameras
I live stream a range of cameras from my home, from YewView and from other parts of the UK and the World
For Nest Box news, cams and videos, please click HERE
I’ve set up a series of live cameras in my garden here in Wales, as well as at partner sites. These cameras give us an extraordinary glimpse into nature’s hidden world, from blue tits raising chicks in their nest boxes, to tawny owls breeding to small mammals in their purpose-built box.
What began as a personal project soon became an educational journey. I realised how powerful these real-time views could be for connecting people, especially children, with nature. Watching a bird build its nest or a bank vole nibbling a peanut can inspire curiosity and interest and a chance for me to educate and inspire. That’s why I now encourage schools and educators, to use them to bring learning to life in the classroom. For those unable to get out into nature, they can provide a respite and even watching nature via a screen has its benefits to mental health.
Each camera can tell a story and provide a window into UK wildlife. By watching, we become part of that story too and many viewers say how addictive they can become!
Whether you’re tuning in from a classroom, your living room, or halfway around the world, I hope these live streams help you feel the same excitement and connection I do every single day.
So, settle in, pick a camera, and step quietly into my wild world. Nature is always up to something and there’s always something new to watch and learn.

***I AM CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH MY ROUTER & INTERNET, MEANING MY LIVE CAMS MAY STOP. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME WHILST I TRY TO RESOLVE THIS...***
Woodland Feeders
These feeders are positioned at the top end of my garden. The area borders a mature woodland, so is a popular area for a variety of species. I have had sparrowhawk and even a goshawk recorded in this location, so if the feeders seem very quiet, it may mean there is a top predator around!
Wildlife Pond
I built this pond in November 2024, with the aim to create something that would increase the biodiversity in the garden and create a place for wildlife to drink and bathe. At one end, there is a gradual, pebbly edge that encourages birds to come and visit.
This area attracts many different species and is always a delight to watch. I hope you enjoy it too!
Crate Feeding Station
These feeders are mounted in a recycled dog crater! This means that the small birds can get in but the larger birds cannot. It is also effective at keeping out the squirrels. It is a popular feeding station as the smaller birds feel safe within this space.
YouTube Live Stream
Using a piece of software called OBS studio, I am able to live stream any of my cameras to my channel. It will showcase the different cameras around my property, depending on what is happening!
Yew View
These camera are streamed from Yew View, in Worcestershire. I have to monitor & manage them remotely, visiting the site 2 or 3 times a month.
Yew View Swallow
Every year, we have swallows nesting in the workshop at Yew View. This camera is on one pair who are now on their second brood. It is incredible to think that these individuals fly back to this precise spot every year and that the young that hatch here will make that epic journey in just a few months! It's a tough time for them in this heat. Let's hope the eggs survive.
Yew View Waterhole
This small waterhole attracts a range of species, both birds and mammals. The feeder behind is mounted low to the ground so that the muntjac and the badgers can also feed here. The set-up is at the top of a wooded slope and the top end of the garden and can become pretty busy, both night and day!
Currently experiencing issues with this live stream. Hopefully we'll be back online soon!
Other Great Wildlife Cams from the UK
From nest boxes, to feeding stations, there are many great wildlife cameras here in the UK. I showcase just a few here that I particularly like and of people or organisations I have worked with and gained permission from. In nesting season, you will see I share more great cameras from enthusiasts like myself. Wherever possible, please visit their websites and support their work.
National Trust - Arlington Court Barn Owls
Another great camera from the National Trust, this time at NT Arlington Court.
he National Trust set up a camera last month after nine eggs were laid in a bird box at Arlington Court near Barnstaple, Devon.
Ranger Ellie Wyatt, who monitors wildlife populations, said it was a "really high number of eggs for a barn owl to have laid" and she expected the remaining eggs would hatch every two to three days.
David Howes, area ranger for North Devon, said there had been a "huge increase in small mammals" at the site after land management changes, which includes part of conservation work to increase numbers of the birds of prey on the estate.
"That's feeding right up the food chain," he added.
The charity said changes in land management included reducing grazing pressure and allowing grasslands, hedgerows and scrub to recover to create "ideal conditions for voles and other prey species".
"What we're seeing at Arlington is a real sign that nature can recover when you give it space," Howes said. (Source BBC Website)
RSPB Swift Nest
I love this fantastic swift box cam from the RSPB. This pair are called Mart and Martha II and they are doing their best to raise another brood of swiftlings. There are two great camera angles on this box. I love being able to to watch the arrival of the adults.
Thanks to the support of Louise Bentley from Bolton and Bury Swifts (https://www.instagram.com/boltonandbu...) with technical support from Wildlife Windows.

RSPB Loch Garten Goshawk Nest
After capturing a clip of a goshawk in my garden, after it killed one of my hens, I've been even more captivated by these incredible hunters, so wanted to share this amazing cam with you!
Deep within the RSPB Abernethy reserve lives one of the UK’s most secretive and elusive raptors, the Goshawk. Masters of the woodland, these powerful hunters are rarely seen as they weave silently through the trees in pursuit of prey. Goshawks maintain several nests within their territory, and it’s been a few years since they last used the nest with the camera on. We’ve been keeping an eye on the nest cam over the past few weeks, and the birds are showing some very encouraging signs that they may use it again this year… so we’ve switched the camera back on YouTube for you to enjoy! This live nest camera offers a rare and intimate glimpse into their hidden world. Activity can be sudden and fleeting, but with patience you may be rewarded with a unique view into the private life of one of our most impressive woodland birds of prey. Visit RSPB Loch Garten - https://www.rspb.org.uk/days-out/rese... This camera is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through NatureScot. Thanks to the Wildlife Windows team and External Reality for making this camera possible.
Rutland Ospreys - Manton Bay
Every year, I visit this area to attend Global Bird Fair. I love looking out for these ospreys and have watched them for many years.
The Rutland Osprey Project, managed by the Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust in partnership with Anglian Water, started in 1996, with the aim to reintroduce a breeding population of ospreys to Rutland Water Nature Reserve in the East Midlands, through a translocation project. Today, they have a self-sustaining breeding population of ospreys and you can find out more about the Rutland Osprey Project here 👉 https://www.lrwt.org.uk/rutlandospreys/about-rutland-ospreys
You can visit the Rutland Osprey Project's HQ at Lyndon Visitor Centre and Nature Reserve.
Great Wildlife Cams from around the World
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!
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.
