Barn Owl Nest Cam in Nagykanizsa
OnlinePeer inside a snug nesting box where a brood of barn owl chicks huddles together in Nagykanizsa, a city in south-western Hungary. The downy owlets jostle, preen and shuffle across the box floor as they grow toward fledging. Maintained by the Madárles bird-conservation project, this intimate wildlife cam offers a rare, close-up window into the secretive family life of one of Europe's most elusive birds of prey.
About This Webcam
Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Hidden Nursery
This camera looks straight into a barn owl nesting box set up in Nagykanizsa, in Hungary's Zala County. Inside, a clutch of pale, heart-faced owlets shelters from the elements, safe from predators while their parents hunt the surrounding farmland and meadows.
Watching the Owlets Grow
Barn owl chicks change dramatically as they develop, trading their fluffy white down for the buff-and-grey plumage of adults. Viewers can follow their feeding, wing-stretching and the constant jostling for position that marks life in a crowded nest.
The Madárles Project
The stream is run by Madárles, a Hungarian initiative dedicated to bird conservation. The nesting box, solar panels and camera equipment are maintained year-round so that audiences worldwide can support and learn about native wildlife.
Why Barn Owls Matter
The barn owl (Tyto alba) is a vital ally to farmers, controlling rodent populations across Europe. Cameras like this one foster appreciation for a shy species that is rarely seen in the wild.
