Peregrine Falcon Nest Cam

An Intimate Window into Raptor Life

This camera peers directly down into the nest scrape of a breeding pair of peregrine falcons, the fastest birds on Earth. Viewers can follow the full breeding cycle — from the laying of eggs in the gravel-filled tray to the hatching and growth of downy chicks — in remarkable up-close detail.

A Tower Above Lokeren

The nest box is mounted within an urban church tower in the Flemish town of Lokeren. Through the circular vent above the scrape, the camera frames a striking aerial panorama of the town's slate and tiled rooftops, blending wildlife observation with a vertiginous view over the historic centre.

Conservation in the City

Peregrine falcons have famously adapted to nesting on tall human structures that mimic their natural cliff ledges. This nest-box project supports the species' recovery and offers a rare, continuous glimpse of a thriving urban predator pair.
