Another bird breakfast for two chick | Southern UK Hobby | Jul 26, 2025

Southern UK Hobby nest camera    • Southern UK Hobby nest camera   2 eggs laid, 34 days incubation, both eggs hatched approx. 11am (UK) 16th July 2025. Dorset Raptor Study Group and Wildlife Windows have been working with and assisting Forestry England for over 20 years. On a voluntary basis we help monitor and survey areas of forest for nesting raptors and feed information back to Forestry England for forestry operations / planning. A focal species of our monitoring has been hobbies (Falco subbuteo). We have been watching, studying and ringing at a number of traditional sites for many years. This year (2025) we are pleased to be able to deliver a live stream from a hobby nest within the Forestry England South Forest District. This site has been used by hobbies, successive generations, for at least the last 15 years while we have been watching them. Set within a forestry, heathland and bog environment this nest will almost certainly show a different variety of prey items than other nests we have collected diet data from. Notes: This is a wild nest showing wild birds doing wild things. The main prey items will be birds and dragonflies and some bats. The only intrusion to the nest site will be to ring the chick’s when they are approx. 2 weeks old to aid our long-term studies of these birds. This will be done under license by experienced raptor workers. YouTube chat will be active this year. As moderators of the channel, we will try to answer questions but are busy working and doing raptor study field work so won’t be able to answer everything immediately. Please be considerate of others on the chat and be neighbourly. We reserve the right to disable the chat and/or stop the stream. YouTube video harvesters…..we ask you to credit Wildlife Windows and Dorset Raptor Study Group when you post. A donation to DRSG via the just giving page would be appreciated (https://drsg.co.uk/). Many thanks for watching and enjoy the wonderful world of hobbies! WildlifeWindows    / @wildlifewindows
