Hungary

Nests on Roofs and Poles

Many of Hungary's cameras watch birds. White storks raise their chicks on platforms at Dömös, on the Danube Bend, and in Érd, south of Budapest; a little owl nests in Tiszalök, by the river Tisza; and a feeder in the forests of the Mátra mountains draws wildlife into view. The storks arrive in late March and leave for Africa at the end of summer.

Towns and Squares

In Eger, Dobó Square is named after the captain who held the castle against an Ottoman siege in 1552, and the twin towers of the baroque Minorite Church rise over it. Veszprém, the city of queens, stands on hills north of Lake Balaton and was a European Capital of Culture in 2023. Other cameras show the main square of Marcali and the flat horizon of the Great Plain at Kerekegyháza and at the airfield of Jakabszállás.

Budapest Zoo

Opened in 1866, Budapest Zoo is one of the oldest in the world. Its cameras follow the elephants, orangutans climbing in the treetops and sharks in its aquarium.
