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
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.
If you enjoy and would like to support my work, you can donate here:
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!
Copse Hide Cam
In July 2025, I dismantled a delapidated caravan, but kept a wooden cabin that was attached to it. This cabin will become my Copse Hide for wildlife watching and photography. This camera will monitor various areas outside the hide, that I am developing, to attract wildlife.
Mammal Box
This camera is inside a special box, with lights and two small entrances. I regularly put food inside, including seeds and fruit. Small mammals visit here day and night to see what food is on offer. Look out for wood mice, bank voles and shrews.
YouTube Live Stream
Using a piece of software called OBS studio, I am able to live stream any of my cameras to my channel. This means that I can bring you views of a variety of different locations, depending on what is happening. Most evening, I will switch the camera to my badger feeding station. The badger usually visits within an hour of it getting dark. If this is not live, pop back another time!
**My live stream will return on Nov 29th**
Yew View
These camera are streamed from Yew View, in Worcestershire. I have to monitor & manage them remotely, visiting the site 3 or 4 times a month.
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!
Yew View Tawny Owl Box
This nest box was custom built and houses two internal cameras and one external camera. Tawnies nested here for the last 7 years. In between tawny nesting, we often get stock doves nesting, sometimes jackdaws and regular visits from squirrels. The tawnies start prospecting again around October and then usually take up residence early in the new year.
Yew View Crate Feeding Station
These feeders are mounted inside a recycled dog crate. I often use this set-up to prevent large birds and squirrels from dominating the feeding station. Smaller birds are able to feed safely as they can fit through the gaps. The opening door enables you to easily top up the feeders. We attract a good range of different species, especially tits and finches.
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.
RSPB Loch Garten Nature Centre
Watch red squirrels, crested tits, great spotted woodpeckers, siskins and lots more forest birds visit this feeder in the heart of RSPB Scotland's Abernethy reserve in the Caledonian pine forest in the Highlands of Scotland. I have visited this spot on many occasions & recommend a visit!
This camera was generously funded by the European Regional Development Fund through NatureScot. Camera provided by Wildlife Windows and comms technology by External Reality.
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.
