Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Feeder in the Treetops
Mounted at the top of a mature holm oak (encina), this camera looks straight at a wild bird feeder set against deeply furrowed cork-like bark. The tight framing turns each visit into a portrait, with sprigs of green foliage and a softly blurred backdrop lending the scene a quiet, immersive depth.
Who Comes to Dine
The Sierra Norte's woodland regulars rotate through the perch: blue tits, great tits, crested tits, European robins, Eurasian nuthatches, treecreepers, chaffinches, sparrows, long-tailed tits, great spotted woodpeckers, magpies, azure-winged magpies and blackbirds. The menu rotates too — sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, apple and mealworms keep the visitors coming.
The Sierra Norte de Madrid
This rugged mountain district north of the capital is a mosaic of holm-oak dehesas, pine forest and granite ridges. Its mild Mediterranean climate and varied habitats make it one of central Spain's richest corners for resident and migratory birds, a haven prized by naturalists.
Ethical Wildlife Watching
The feed is offered without any disturbance to the animals, letting you observe natural feeding behaviour, plumage detail and even ring readings up close. It is a small, honest portal into the social life of Iberian woodland birds.
