A Rare View Inside the Nest
This webcam offers an exceptional vantage point inside a purpose-built Swift nest box in Wareham, on the edge of Poole Harbour. Swifts spend almost their entire lives on the wing, making this close-up view of their nesting behaviour a genuine rarity for wildlife enthusiasts.
The Birds of Poole Harbour Project
The feed is run by Birds of Poole Harbour, a conservation charity whose Swift Communities initiative funded this nest box. Their work aims to support a declining species and to raise awareness of the swift's remarkable life cycle.
Nesting Behaviour to Watch
Viewers can observe adults returning to roost and tend to their brood, the chicks developing within the box, and the intricate feather-lined nest. Each detail offers insight into a bird that is otherwise almost impossible to study at rest.
