    Live nest cams

    There are two cams to choose from - Great Blus Heron or Red Tailed Hawk.

    Hope that they're of interest.

      Not live that one Lazydog, but it sure looks like owl porn!!

      The live feed for that is here, but it does carry a 30sec advert first.

        You like nature so much that you sentence the poor little souls to death!!:love30:

        If ever you're in Kuala Lumpur there is a huge collection of creepy crawlies (in display cases) in a museum. Spent a whole day in that one room!

          if you enjoy wildlife, there are some live webcams situated in some of South Africas game reserves

          South Africa is currently 1 hour ahead of UK time, so the best time to watch live is between 5am-7am and between 4pm and 5pm UK time (when the animals come gather around the waterholes to drink

            I was in Capetown for two weeks in 1969
            We had our own transport and went to the big game reserve
            Spent fifteen hours there and saw nothing, zilch, Nowt,
            Maybe we just should have paid the £12 for a guide :-)

            Though I did have the best Antelope steak ever at the restaraunt
