Dutch bird protection group Vogelbescherming Nederland has begun switching on its spring webcams, located in and around the nests of eight different birds.

New this year is a camera following events at the nest of a white tailed eagle in Friesland, 15 metres above the ground. Other birds that can be followed include a coal tit, a stork, a kingfisher and various owls.

The Beleef de Lente (experience Spring) webcams are followed by hundreds of thousands of people a year.
