Penguin Burrow Cam
On our recent trip to the Phillip Island Penguin Parade with kids we enjoyed the most incredible experience from the shore line as hundreds of Little Penguins left the ocean in the evening and headed to shore to feed their baby chicks in their burrows.
You can head to the Penguin Burrow Camera and watch the latest baby chick enjoying its burrow in real-time.
Live Royal Albatross Cam
The Northern Royal Albatross nest during the breeding season at Pukekura/Taiaroa Head on the southeast tip of New Zealand’s South Island. On the 14 November 2019, OGK, a 21 year old male and YRK, a 25 year old female became proud parents of a healthy egg that YRK laid. This LIVE camera provides you with a view of this little albatross family as the baby chick, which has now hatched, grows up.

Feed Chickens from your Living Room
When it comes to live wildlife cameras to watch from your living room, the live streaming chicken coop cam is going to be a favourite. Okay, so chickens aren’t actually a wildlife animal BUT this webcam is so much fun it needs to be added!
Each chicken has a name and its own distinct personality. What’s more, you can feed them! Yes, seriously! You can give the chickens treats from your couch and watch them eat it too! Super fun.
EagleCam : Sydney White-Bellied Sea-Eagle Cam
The BirdLife Australia Discovery Centre is an interactive, interpretive hub that provides opportunities for people to learn about, and engage with, birds in their natural habitat. Having visited the centre in Homebush and are super excited to be able to watch a nesting couple of Sydney White-Bellied Sea-Eagles.
The Sydney White-Bellied Sea-Eagle is a magnificent bird of prey that can grow up to 80 cm and 3kg in size. Watching them nest, lay their egg and raise their chick(s) is a exciting opportunity even if it is from the couch!
Watch the Sydney White-Bellied Sea-Eagle LIVE on webcam here.
Australian Bird Webcam
Australian native birds are often gregarious, cheeky and quite sassy. Watching them in the backyard can be quite an experience as they poke around the plants, socialise and have a great ol’ time together.
If you are in self isolation, getting outside to watch the birds might become a little tricky. We’ve found a great Australian Bird Webcam that will take you into a range of backyards from Goulburn to Evans Head where you can spy on these chatty birds.
Head to the Australian Bird Webcam to enjoy a range of birdlife having fun in the backyard!
Tasmanian Wildlife at Cradle Mountain
Back in 2017 on our THIRD attempt, we finally made it to Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake in Tasmania where we observed a range of animals including a very large wombat.
If Cradle Mountain is on your bucket list you will love this webcam find which offers you the opportunity to view the landscape and wildlife from your living room!
