A live stream of a nesting pair of honey buzzards is offering a rare glimpse into one of the UK's most secretive birds of prey.
The birds, which have laid two eggs in Sussex woodland, are being filmed around the clock as they incubate them and prepare for the arrival of chicks.
Experts say it is the first time such detailed nesting behaviour has been captured for the species, which migrates from West Africa in May.
"It's phenomenal, it is such an intimate glimpse in to this secretive bird. We are already learning so much about their lives," said Ash Walmsley, who is leading the project.
Very little is known about the unusual species, which feeds on wasp larvae, as they are often misidentified.
