Four amazing webcams here:
Se alle LIVE streams | TV 2 Fri

The first webcam has a nesting pair of storks, and the eggs are due to hatch in about 10 days. It is the only nesting pair of storks in Denmark.

The second webcam is focused on some sort of badger den. I haven't seen anything come out of the hole in the ground.

The third one has a nesting pair of swans, and the cygnets/swanlings were hatched 5/27. Their mom tried to get them to follow her and leave the nest a few minutes ago, but only 3 of the 6 babies were brave enough to follow her. Now she's back in the nest with all 6 babies, taking a break before the next attempt. So cute!

The fourth is a "mejse" (blue tit?) family in a birdhouse.

Update on the swan family: Last night (Pacific Daylight Time, mid-morning in Europe) they had all left the nest, but right now (morning in CA, late afternoon in Europe) they're back, mom and all 6 babies. 2 unhatched eggs in the nest. I didn't know swans return to the nest once the babies have left it! I guess it's "home."

Just click on camera #3. You have to put up with a short commercial before the live feed starts, but it's worth it.

They all went for a swim except for one fraidy-chick, and now they're back in the nest. Too cute! I think I'll be stuck here in front of the computer screen until night falls in Europe...

Bonus: Both storks are in the nest (camera #1), and you can count 5 eggs...

Thanks for this CFF! Even the ads are fun/ny.

I too am hoping to see something emerge from the "graevlingegraven" burrow.

It appears to be 8pm yet still sunny in the way far North.

I like that I have all 4 screens going at once.

Mamma Stork and Swan have it relatively peaceful compared to the busy mom in frame 4. The cynical side of me says the badger den is a put on but realist side says critters have more to do than just keep us amused. A pretty racy ad ran for some kind of deep heat ointment (Ipren?) - a headless nude bumpy/curvy person appears with very sly/mean arm blocking.

I've been too busy all day to visit the little families; I just clicked on the cameras now, and the swan family is out and about; instead there's a great blue heron in the nest!

Action in the swan's nest! The blue heron was making itself comfortable, and caught and ate a fish as I was watching . But then Mamma Swan and her babies decided to come home, and chased the heron away. No flying feathers, just a gentle, quick retreat...I'm counting 5 babies, so the 6th may have fallen victim to the many dangers outside the nest--such as pikes, hawks, foxes, otters...

The "stork-cam" is apparently down right now, but at least one egg has hatched! Maybe two.

Three tiny heads are moving in the stork nest! Yess! Still one egg unhatched, can't tell where the 5th egg is.
