Hello Nestflix viewers!
We hope you enjoy this unique glimpse into the lives of one of Southern Africa's most critically endangered bird species, the Southern Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus meridionalis), of which fewer than 400 remain. Our livestream is broadcast Monday through Friday, 08:00-17:00 (GMT+2), from Moloti-Drakensberg Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in South Africa.
We are well into the breeding season. The first egg was laid on Sunday, 16th June, and the second egg was confirmed on 22nd June. Typically, there's a five-day interval before the second egg is laid. Although the second egg serves as insurance, it seldom results in an additional chick reaching adulthood, though that's a topic for another day.
Incubation for these eggs generally lasts between 54 and 56 days. During this period, one bird remains in the nest while the other ventures out searching for food, regularly trading incubation duties.
If all goes as planned, we anticipate welcoming a new addition to this critically endangered species between the 9th and 11th of August. To stay updated and learn more about our conservation efforts, please visit our website and follow us on LinkedIn and feel free to restream this live broadcast.

Please note that from time to time, there may be a pause in the livestream due to technical issues encountered by our telecommunications carrier. We will work with them to get the stream back online as soon as possible. The KZfaq livestream may also not be available on Saturdays and Sundays due to KZfaq restrictions on enabling an encoder livestream from a mobile device. During these periods, please visit the direct broadcast on our website at the following link: www.birdontheedge.org/nestcam...
