Sparrowhawk Island is a web site dedicated to capturing live footage of many species of british birds, but mainly the sparrowhawk as it lives in the wild.
Our live streaming web cams are permanently fixed in our wood in Cheshire, England and capture much of the goings on in a sparrowhawks typical daily routine.
This isn't your average online web cam site. Our web cams allow us to follow every aspect of the sparrowhawks life, whether its in the nest, feeding time or the male bringing kills in. You will see the female Sparrowhawk leave the nest and take the kill away from the male to feed herself and her chicks.
We also have web cams focused on our mating and courtship branch and of course a secondary web cam trained on our watering hole.
The rest of the cams are situated throughout the wood in all of their favourite hotspots, this means you're guaranteed a good show.

The upkeep of our website, 20 web cams (standard and night vision), live streaming service and upkeep of the wildlife habitat is all funded from our own pockets and via donations from kind members of the public, people viewing the Sparrowhawk Island website and local businesses.
100% of everything we earn from any donations goes back into looking after the environmental area and these magnificent birds of prey.
Our Sparrowhawk cams and live footage of other British birds and wildlife.
