The best wildlife webcams to watch in the UK and Ireland
Watch livestreams of wildlife around the UK and Ireland, thanks to the work of conservationists. Enjoy views of nesting birds and the hatching of their chicks, plus feeding mammals such as badgers and squirrels.

Although you may not be able to see much wildlife from your home during the coronavirus pandemic, you can still watch a variety of species thanks to these animal webcams.
Some of these cameras are seasonal, for example they may only be active during the nesting season. However we have decided to include them here anyway, and will endeavour to regularly update which cameras are online or offline.
To see even more wildlife webcams from around the world, including bald eagles, hummingbirds, manatees and elephants, check out this list on the BBC Wildlife website.
