In early 2025 I became obsessed with watching live streams of birds raising their babies. I love watching all raptors, but eagles are my absolute favourites.
This page is a record of the nests I've been watching, and a brief summary of who I'm watching lately and what they're up to. A lot of the info here is collected from chat threads, comments, and forums, which are not always organised and searchable, and are often not in English, so I don't claim any of this information is 100% accurate—apologies for any mistakes.
Links with the icon indicate streams that are either unreliable, and aren't always running, or the stream moves to a new URL often. In the latter case, I usually link to the YouTube account or website rather than a particular video stream.

Sea Eagle babies!! Both chicks hatched this week and are adorable little balls of white fluff now.

Another one where the stream changes to a new video all the time, so I've just linked to the YouTube account. There's not always a current live stream, either, as there's no stream during the night. The chick is still small and is mostly hidden under the parents but can be seen during feeding. Very cool looking birds.

I just came across this nest recently, though the chicks are already grown and I think both have fledged. But at least one tends to visit home most days, often for a long rest, but sometimes a parent stops by with food and both juveniles hang around eating/fighting over the food for a while. They're really interesting-looking birds, and can be fun to watch.
Upcoming
I'm watching these nests already, but most of them haven't laid eggs yet, or the eggs haven't hatched, so I'll be watching them more closely in the coming weeks/months.

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 finally laid their first egg of the season in the first week of September! They're a really cute couple who spend a lot of time together in the nest and take turns incubating the egg.
These falcons nest on a building in the CBD of Melbourne, and the south-facing camera often shows good shots of the city, especially when zoomed out.
This is one of those streams where the URL changes often, so I've just linked to the YouTube account. Apparently Crowned Eagles only ever lay a maximum of 2 eggs, so it was surprising to see 3 in this nest... well, on 30 August 2 of them hatched into goslings! Apparently an Egyptian Goose visited the nest while the mum was away at some point and laid its own eggs in there. 1 gosling jumped out of the nest, the other was eaten. We're still waiting to see if the final egg is a Crowned Eagle and whether it will hatch.

July/August 2025

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.

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 sometimes, but I haven't seen him for a while now.

This stream was down a lot for a few days, and then it went down completely in early August, unfortunately. 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.

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.
