Everything you need to know about this live stream
The Nest and Its Falcons
The camera frames a sheltered nesting ledge used by peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus), raptors renowned as the fastest animals on the planet in a hunting stoop. The gravel-lined box and its scrape host the pair through courtship, incubation and the rearing of downy chicks.
A Tower Above Châteauneuf
The nest sits high on a brick tower overlooking Châteauneuf in the Loire department, with rooftops, wooded hills and winding valleys stretching toward the horizon. The lofty perch mimics the cliff faces that wild peregrines naturally favour.
Conservation by the LPO
The feed is provided by the LPO (Ligue pour la Protection des Oiseaux), France's leading bird-protection charity. Urban nesting sites like this one have helped the species recover after decades of decline, and the camera lets viewers follow that comeback without disturbing the birds.
What to Watch For
Patient viewers may catch prey deliveries, dramatic aerial arrivals, feeding of the young and, in season, the first tentative wing-flaps before fledging. Each visit to the ledge offers a fresh glimpse of wild raptor life unfolding in real time.
