White Stork Nest on the Rooftop
OnlineThis live camera looks out over a large White Stork nest built atop the tiled rooftops of Mainburg, a town in the hop-growing Hallertau region of Bavaria. The sprawling platform of branches and twigs is a classic example of these birds' habit of nesting on human structures, returning to the same site to raise their young. Below the nest, the warm terracotta roofs and chimneys of the old town frame the scene.

A Rooftop Stork Nest
The camera is trained on a substantial White Stork nest, a deep bowl of interwoven branches and twigs that the birds add to year after year until it becomes a massive platform. Perched on a purpose-built support above the town's tiled roofs, the nest offers an intimate view of one of Europe's most beloved birds at home.
Mainburg and the Hallertau
The nest overlooks Mainburg, a small town at the heart of the Hallertau, the largest continuous hop-growing region in the world. Red terracotta rooftops, church spires and chimneys give the backdrop its unmistakably Bavarian character.
The White Stork
The White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) is a tall wading bird with striking white and black plumage and a long red bill. Famous for nesting on rooftops, chimneys and towers, these birds form strong pair bonds and faithfully return to the same nest to raise their chicks.
What to Watch For
Viewers can follow the rhythms of the resident pair โ nest maintenance, the feeding of hungry chicks, and the distinctive bill-clattering greeting storks use at the nest. It is a window into a wild family living right above a busy Bavarian town.
