This camera watches a nest box for kestrels mounted at St. Nicolai Church in Alfeld (Leine), a small town in Lower Saxony. Kestrels are small falcons that often breed in church towers and old buildings, so the feed offers a chance to follow nesting birds from close by. Local weather and time are shown on the page.
About Alfeld and its church
Alfeld (Leine) lies on the river Leine in the foothills south of Hildesheim, in the Hildesheimer Börde and Weserbergland border region. The town is known for its old town centre, half-timbered houses and the St. Nicolai church, whose tower is a landmark for the area. The surrounding countryside is a mix of farmland, woods and low hills, which suits the kestrels that hunt over open fields.
What you can watch and when
The camera is aimed at a nest box for kestrels, so the most interesting moments are the arrivals and departures of the adult birds, feeding and the young at the entrance once they grow. Activity is typically highest in the early morning and in the evening, when birds hunt and return. Breeding seasons in Central Europe usually run from spring into early summer, so that is the period when the box is most likely to be occupied.
Practical tips and nearby cameras
Germany's temperate climate means mild summers and cool, wet winters, with the best weather for walking around Alfeld from May to September. Hildesheim and Einbeck are the nearest larger towns, and other VizCams cameras in Lower Saxony, including the Goslar-Hahnenklee view, are listed on this page for comparison.
