A new highlight on campus: our nest box camera is live!

There is a lively bird population on our campus in Mittweida, which is why Mittweida University of Applied Sciences has installed a number of nesting boxes in the roof trusses and on trees over the last few years – and now there’s even a live camera to watch them!

From now on, we can watch exactly which species of bird moves into our nesting box in the roof truss of House 2! Thanks to a camera that has been installed, we can follow the action live – from the first curious visitor right through to what may soon be a breeding season for a pair of birds.

It is not yet clear which species has actually ‘claimed the territory’: a pair of kestrels has been spotted over the past few weeks, but in recent days a barn owl and a jackdaw have also been seen exploring the nest. So the coming weeks are set to be exciting!

The nest box camera not only gives us an insight into the birdlife on campus, but also helps us gain valuable insights into the breeding behaviour and conservation of native birds. We have been receiving expert guidance from an ornithologist for years. Under his advice, many nesting sites have already been installed in and around the buildings and on the trees across the campus. We’ll keep an eye on the box in House 2 and keep you updated!
