Bird Cams

[Lyndon]

I wonder if the cat's owner thinks it is really fussy when it won't eat what they give it. Little do they know it has been feasting on carrion with its feathered friends.

I'm loving the Campanet webcam. It's a bit like playing 'Where's Willy' looking for the vultures in the wood

(A children's book just to clarify )

Just visited the Rottenbach web cam to see how our storks were doing. Well, I guess it is the mating season, and have just witnessed our feathered couple joining the stork equivalent of the 'mile high club'! I give them full marks for balance!
Here is the direct link to it : Germany: Röttenbach - Livecam Pro

Hmmm, Looking at the storks, it would appear eggs have been laid.

 

[Jonsey]

Sorry, 'Pollensafan', false alarm I'm afraid - the nest is bare! Have to admit I keep checking daily and judging by their routines in recent days I think the 'egg laying' is imminent. Mind you, hope they don't roll off in the wind!

 

[whaleywanderer]

Plenty of activity (nest building) going on on the Rottenberg webcam, think the eggs are imminent.

 

[Jonsey]

Just seen a single egg! Last year there were three. Well, I presume it was an egg - white, egg shaped, but a lot smaller than I would have expected. The centre of the nest is now lined in moss so looks like 'action stations' from now on! Fascinating viewing

I think I can see two eggs but I agree with you Jonsey they do seem very small

There was also a very pretty butterfly that landed on the nest yesterday. The storks seemed oblivious to it though!

Definitely two eggs there that are visible

 

[pips]

Spotted 3 eggs while the nest was being cleaned

I think maybe a chick's been born! There's something very small in the nest next to 'mummy' but I can't zoom in to get a good look. It's not moving much though so I could be seeing things

Just ignore me.. I think it was a leaf

 

[Tangoman]

Would that be a female leaf or a male leaf??

 

[debz1]

Definitely male, it was just lying there doing nothing

 

[Tangoman]

Knows it's place in life then??

 

[jimsboy]

It must have been a female leaf then!! (ouch).

 

[pips]

I see the web cam of the vultures has moved it's now facing a nest, so now baby storks and vultures to watch. Hopefully all will go well for them.

 

[sws97sdg]

Lol, no competition in the attractiveness stakes!! Just watching her, or him, very funny, looks like a Disney cartoon character!!

Sorry, I know I should get a life, but its so funny looking at the vulture, it looks like she is looking for something, or waiting for a bus, either way it is very cute I have decided!

 

[pollensafan]

I resemble that remark

 

[sws97sdg]

They are ahead of the storks, they have large chicks which is why she is looking around so much... I will stop posting now
