Aston University in Birmingham, UK, recently set up a camera streaming live from a kestrel nest in one of their buildings.
Unfortunately, the nest shown on the video is not real, and is merely a digital manipulation controlled by the university's receptionists. The image of the nest itself is a picture of some Cadbury Mini Eggs from a Google image search, whilst the kestrels were created using Microsoft Paint and a freeware animation hack for that programme.
There is a real nest on the campus, but efforts at placing a camera there were in vain as the kestrels attacked the technicians attempting to set it up.
