2025

A summer of unexpected wild nature

For 2025 we delivered another fascinating live-stream from a wild Eurasian hobby (Falco subbuteo) nest in southern England.

Watch the moment Eurasian Hobby chicks hatch live on camera!

Intimate moments in the lives of these birds were beamed out all over the world and everything seemed to be going so well until nature took an unexpected turn...

One day a goshawk came calling and sadly the Hobby chicks were predated by another of Dorset’s amazing raptor species. It was very hard to watch but this is what happens out there, nature is all about survival and it is a tough place. While this was not the outcome we were hoping for, the live footage is still invaluable and will feed into our ongoing research on this incredible species.
