Barn Owls & Other Wildlife Live Cam

Six webcam views share one frame at Fotherdale Farm near Thixendale, in the Yorkshire Wolds of northern England. The tiles cover an elm stump from outside and inside, a kestrel box with chicks in it, and the open fields around the buildings.

Barn owls nest in the hollow stump, and the interior views are lit with infrared so the birds can be seen at night without disturbance. The people who run the site label each tile — the stump seen from above, the stump from outside, the nesting kestrels — and follow individual birds from year to year.

Spring and early summer are the busiest weeks, with adults bringing voles back to the nest through the night. Later in the year the boxes empty and the wide field views carry most of what happens.
