This camera points at a kestrel nest box on the eastern side of Gropiusstadt, a large housing estate in south-east Berlin.

About Gropiusstadt
Gropiusstadt was planned in the 1960s as one of Berlin's large residential estates, designed around green space, playgrounds and public paths rather than dense streets. It lies in the Neukölln district near the edge of the city, where the built-up areas give way to fields, allotments and wooded margins. The estate is known for its distinctive modernist blocks and for the mix of residents and nature that surrounds them. The nearby Johannisthal district and the Teltow plateau add more open, green land to the picture.
What you can watch
Kestrels are small falcons that hunt over open ground and nest in cavities, often in buildings and nest boxes. Depending on the season, you may see the birds sitting in the box, arriving with prey, or perching nearby between hunts. Spring and early summer are generally the most active period, when the young are growing and parents come and go frequently. Early morning and late afternoon often bring the most movement, though activity varies with the weather and the time of year.
Climate and getting around
Berlin has a temperate climate with warm summers, cold winters and changeable weather throughout the year, so it is worth checking the forecast on this page before planning a visit. Gropiusstadt is reached by the U-Bahn and regional rail, and the surrounding Britz and Buckow areas are useful for walking. The other cameras in the Berlin area, including Alexanderplatz and the Hotel Adlon view, are a short trip into the city centre.
