In 2011, in one of the projects of the Latvian Fund for Nature, which was dedicated to the study of white-tailed eagles and ospreys, the idea arose to install live cameras near the nests. Installing cameras near nests or animal trails is a widely used method of nature research in the world, but live cameras were not yet known to the general public of Latvia at that time.

Every season, the Latvian Fund for Nature provides about ten live broadcasts from the nests of various birds, in recent years – also an underwater live broadcast from the fish way. Bird livestreams have gained a lot of popularity in the community and have an average of 5 million views from all over the world every year.

Live broadcasts of Latvian birds allow you to look into a bird’s nest in close proximity and in high quality, thus allowing people to get to know the natural processes. Our live broadcasts are also internationally appreciated and have repeatedly come to the attention of foreign media.

It should be emphasized that we do not interfere with natural processes, so unpleasant scenes can also be observed during live broadcasts.

Live bird shows are made possible by donations from viewers. 4G internet is provided by LMT.
