There is a huge variety of animal livestreams available online – pandas, puppies, kittens, donkeys, sheep and more. We have focussed on wild animals (including wildlife rehabilitation) in our comprehensive list of wildlife webcams to livestream around the world.
Some of these cameras are seasonal, for example they may only be active during the nesting season.
A few of these cameras have associated citizen science projects running in conjunction with them, encouraging viewers to identify and record the species seen. Details can be found on those websites.
If you're interested in putting up a nestbox in your garden, head over to our garden bird nestbox guide or our step-by-step guide to making a garden bird nestbox. Learn more about identifying bird and mammals nests, identifying birds' eggs and identifying bird egg thieves.
