Every spring/summer the last few years there has been a pair of oystercatchers nesting on the roof of one of the university's buildings, and a webcam has been put up there right by the nest. It's not really bothering the birds, you get to see them doing whatever they do, cleaning up around the nest, grooming, sleeping and almost getting blown away in bad weather. They are so cool, and the chicks are even cuter :D I've been checking the page often and looking for the birds almost every day the past two weeks, and two days ago they finally arrived :) Here is a picture of the pair collecting stones for their nest. You can see an egg by the wall. Two more will probably be laid soon.
The page is both in Norwegian and English, and you can choose how often the picture updates, from 1 to 30 seconds. Streaming video will be up some time later :)
What a great idea! Cool pictures!
