Peak District Wildlife Live – Meadow View Whisky Barrel Nest Box

This live 24/7 stream comes from Meadow View, a wild nest box in England's Peak District, made from an old whisky barrel and fitted with cameras and sound that stream day and night.

Meadow View isn't your average bird box. Handcrafted from a reclaimed barrel, it gives a close-up view inside a real wild nest box. It's open to any visitor, so you never know who might move in next, and that's the magic of a live wildlife cam.

Possible visitors

• Owls looking for a roost or nest site
• Kestrels, jackdaws or stock doves
• Smaller birds and the occasional curious mammal

The Peak District was Britain's first national park, designated in 1951, and its mix of moorland, farmland and woodland supports a wide range of wildlife. Spring is the most exciting time, as birds search for nest sites, lay eggs and raise young, while winter may bring birds seeking shelter on cold nights. The microphone lets you hear every scratch and call. The stream is provided by Barn Owl Live.
