I watched 3 nests of Lesser Spotted Eagles in July/August 2025 and they were all adorable and fun. I especially liked that this nest had an egg that didn't hatch, which survived all the way to Grieta's fledge day. Egg just lives in the nest still, and the eagles don't pay it much attention, but I assume it'll get broken or stolen and eaten before next year's breeding season.

Reinis was great fun while in the nest, doing a lot of flapping and jumping around in the last few weeks before branching. Reinis still visits the nest to eat and rest, but seems to be sleeping elsewhere these days.

This stream has been down a lot in the last few days, so it's possible this chick is branching now and getting close to fledging. This one is a little younger than Grieta and Reinis but has also been lots of fun to watch, especially recently as there was a lot more mantling, flapping, and jumping around in preparation for fledging. This nest also seems to get nicer weather, as it's often sunny, and they don't seem to have as many rainy days as the Latvian LSEs. The website link above includes a forum in English with lots of screengrabs from the stream and updates on the chick's growth, too.

I always enjoy a nest with 2 or 3 siblings, because it's fun to watch their interactions with each other when they get older and the parents aren't around much. These two mostly get along, with a very occasional brief fight. I also love how they watch each other so intensely when one of them starts jumping and flapping a lot, or playing with a stick—they're so keen to observe and learn from each other. I also love how fluffy these chicks always look.

The URL for this live stream changes often, but the stream itself is fairly reliable, and the people running it are really nice. Mum & Dad spend a lot of time in the nest despite not incubating any eggs yet, so there's often something to see on this stream.

This is the original nest cam that got me hooked. Jackie and Shadow are really fun to watch, and Sunny and Gizmo were both adorable and hilarious. Sunny was the first chick I watched fledge and it definitely made me cry.
