In winter we could observe the doings of these intelligent, wise and wily birds at the feeding ground of the white-tailed eagles. Now we can see their nest life in what might be termed urban nature. An independent group of nature enthusiasts started the project "Raven“ last autumn to draw special attention to nature in an urban context. The ravens that had built their nest at a chimney top were ideal as the first showcase object. In the wild these wary birds build their nests in the top of a large pine. In man-made environments nests have been found on high voltage power masts. The raven camera family has a “million dollar“ view.

The chicks were probably hatched about a week ago, since the adults dare leave the nest for periods of nearly ten minutes during the warmer part of the day. How many chicks are there in the nest?
