Föhrste Stork Nest Cam

The Stork Nest

The camera looks straight down into a large white stork nest, a dense bowl of woven sticks and reeds raised on a purpose-built mast. Returning pairs rebuild and defend this same nest year after year, making it a permanent landmark for the village community that maintains it.

Leine Meadows & Farmland

Behind the nest stretch the Alfelder Leinewiesen, the wide floodplain meadows of the Leine river. Patchwork crop fields and grassland run toward the horizon, offering the storks rich foraging ground for frogs, voles and insects.

The Leinebergland Backdrop

Wooded hills of the Leinebergland rise along the skyline, their forested slopes closing the valley. This gentle landscape of Lower Saxony frames every frame with a quiet, rural character.

Wildlife Watching

Viewers can follow the full breeding cycle — incubation, hatching and the rearing of chicks — alongside the comings and goings of adult storks delivering food. It is a living window onto one of Europe's most iconic birds.
