sparrowhawk/british bird live cams (1 Viewer)

[dave culley]

Hi every one im dave from cheshire been filming birds in my garden now for 3 years,most of my birds have left nests now but still have few left.
Hawk eggs started to hatch today,i have 7 cams on hawks which can be shown all at once so nothing is missed,3 cams on nest 2 on chopping block 2 on watering hole,so any action can be seen on large screen instantlyBirds still nesting/blackbird/house sparrow/wren.
Birds i have had on cam this year,2bluetits/great tits/greywagtail/magpie/3 robins/hedgesparrow,i have a total of 16 cams all in real time.
Hawks will be in nest about 28 days ,they still come back to nest up to three weeks after fledging to eat kills on nest ,and learning to kill prey which is amusing to watch as they practice on bits of twigs ec,t.
Loads of footage on you tube under female sparrowhawk my footage by dvr365 ,1st chick to hatch this morning coming out of shell was put on this morning.
Hope you enjoy this footage of a very elusive bird,this has not been done before on this scale.
Iam a one man band no help or funding off any one and is very expensive to do.

hope you enjoy. dave culley

Good clips. Was it difficult to get the legal permission needed to set up the cams?

Hi apodemus been busy filming,new to computers so very slow on typing side,all cams in cops all ways in same position exept nest which they build end of feb,nest site chosen by male,
As soon as male lays first twig thats when cam goes on nest,have a PTZcam on house roof so i can follow them about wood with out disturbing them,as no leaves on trees in feb so i can see every where.
I know when they come and go like clock work.the only time it varies is when male is hunting in the rain it.
Birds will be rung this year when 12 days old by RSPBwhich will be shown live,so we can monitor birds to see if young return to nest site in future.
The pair i have now ,been here few years i compare photos from previous years, i have been10 foot away from female when she is eating she has got to know me and tollorates me close, male is a lot better last year he would go if he saw me but this year he lets me photograph him but keeps a sharp eye on me,fe male just sits and poses.
Been trying to upload photos of them on site but strugling how to do it i have sent some but dont know where they have gone, anything you would like to know about these birds feel free to ask .
