Webcam Birding List 2025 (6 Viewers)

[Gander]

I have decided to set myself a challenge to see how many different species of birds that I can see on live webcams this year. Only real rule is that I have to see them live; not recorded.
To kick off, I have, over the last few days, started in South Africa on LIVE | Allen Birdcam

Later today, I will move on to some of the Cornell Lab cameras.

The list so far is

1) African Grey Hornbill
2) Common/Indian Mynah
3) House Sparrow
4) Speckled Pigeon
5) Black collared Barbet
6) Burchells Coucal
7) Cape Sparrow
8) Fischers Lovebird
9) Green Wood Hoopoe
10) Karoo Thrush
11) Lesser Masked Weaver
12) Laughing Dove
13) Southern Masked Weaver
14) Speckled Mousebird
15) Red-winged Starling
16) Grey-headed Bushshrike
17) Ring-necked Dove

A modest start, but plenty more to come!

Cool idea. I just pulled up that feeder feed and saw this at the feeder:



Took me a minute to figure out what it was (Spot-crowned Barbet).

Thanks Tico, I managed to catch sight of a female Spot-crowned Barbet later in the day. Also, a small group of Collared Aracari.

Lots of livestreaming webcams at Africam - not specifically bird ones set up on nests or feeding stations, and you might find it's mostly elephants and antelope at any given moment, but Tau Lodge and Tembe in particular tend to be quite good for zooming in and following birds when they turn up, plus the Stony Point cam is often on penguins and cormorants, and the Lesser Flamingos one will catch plenty of other water birds in shot too.

Thanks for that. Definitely one I'll keep an eye on.
