Are there people interested in live bird cams? (1 Viewer)

[WatchingFranz]

Hi everyone! I have some spare equipment at home and the privilege to live right next door to a peregrine falcon's nest in a old water tower. I've already tested a little (and no experience with it whatsoever) to use my stuff to live stream the next to Youtube. Is there any "market" as in are there any bird lovers interested in a falcons nest live stream? If yes, I would just leave my equipment running:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

youtube.com

(I am using a Canon RP connected via HDMI to a ZowieBox and from there to Youtube)


P.s. I call myself WathingFranz because a falcon-baby fell out that nest in the live stream at the beginning of this year and I took care for one night before handing it over to a specialist. They released him a few days later and I guess he is now living right there. We called him Franz

Hi WatchingFranz and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators. There are quite a lot of members who love watching live stream nest and feeder webcams, so you'd be better to post in the Live Bird Webcams forum here: Live Bird Webcams

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

I like a live webcam, they are great for brushing up ones ID skills around the world. Do feel that your cam is a bit too far away, it is great to use webcams see birds in ways you can't normally do.

I see, thank you for the feedback. It is indeed very far away, hence I use a 500mm lense and I dont have access to the nest itself (it is roughly 50 meters high). I guess then my setup is not very useful :-(

I would not give up yet - keep it going and see what you can see!
