Baron Blue Eagle Nest Canopy Cam

A View into the Treetops

Unlike a nest-level close-up, this camera gazes upward through the pine canopy, capturing the nest where it truly sits — cradled high in the swaying crown of a mature boreal pine. Shafts of light filter between the interlaced branches that shelter the eagles' young.

Baron Blue and Baroness Barefoot

The eyrie belongs to Baron Blue and Baroness Barefoot, the resident white-tailed eagles whose story made Smøla famous among wildlife watchers worldwide. This angle reveals how the pair weave and reinforce their enormous stick nest into the very top of the tree.

Smøla's Boreal Forest

The island of Smøla in Møre og Romsdal is a low expanse of peat bog, heath and scattered wind-shaped pine woodland. These hardy trees, rooted in thin coastal soil, provide the rare tall perches that sea eagles favour for nesting.

Europe's Largest Raptor

The white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) can span more than two metres wing-tip to wing-tip. Once nearly lost from much of the continent, it now thrives along the Norwegian coast, and Smøla hosts an unrivalled density of breeding pairs.
