Pigeon and Kestrel Nest Cam

An Intimate Window Into Urban Birdlife

This camera frames a wall-mounted wooden nest box at close range, turning an ordinary building ledge into a stage for everyday avian drama. The rock pigeons and Common Kestrels that share the structure are seen in unusual detail, from the texture of their feathers to the architecture of their nests.

Pigeons and Kestrels Side by Side

The box hosts both pigeons, the perennial companions of city life, and the kestrel, a small russet-backed falcon known for its hovering flight. Their overlapping use of the same cavity offers a rare look at how different species negotiate the same sheltered space.

The WBAIS GAIA Project

The feed is operated by the Charter Group of Wildlife Ecology as part of the WBAIS GAIA Project, an initiative dedicated to observing and documenting wildlife in Israel. The continuous stream lets researchers and the public alike follow nesting cycles as they unfold.

Even Yehuda, Central Israel

The nest box sits in Even Yehuda, a town in the HaSharon plain of central Israel. The setting places this slice of wildlife squarely within a lived-in residential landscape, a reminder of how closely birds and people coexist.
