Kestrel Nest Box Live

A Window Into a Bird of Prey's World

This camera looks straight into a wooden kestrel nest box set up on a small farm in the northern reaches of Denmark. The common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) is a familiar sight across European farmland, famous for its hovering hunting flight, and this feed reveals the side of its life that is normally hidden from view.

Inside the Nesting Chamber

The lens captures the textured interior of the box and the open window through which the parent comes and goes. Beyond the opening lies a patchwork of fields and woodland that defines the Danish agricultural landscape, framing the bird's comings and goings against the open countryside.

A Family Through the Breeding Season

The nest box is the stage for the kestrel's breeding cycle — courtship, incubation, hatching and the rapid growth of the chicks. Returning viewers can follow the family from the first eggs to the moment the young raptors take their first leap into the surrounding skies.

Conservation and Quiet Observation

Cameras like this support citizen science and conservation, letting people worldwide watch wild raptors without disturbing them. It is an unhurried, respectful window onto wildlife that rewards patience with rare, close encounters.
