Live Webcams in Orange

Orange, a country town in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia, earns its place among the live webcams in Orange, NSW for one reason above all: peregrine falcon nests on the town's water towers, boxes the birds have treated as cliff ledges for well over a decade. Watching it live means seeing eggs laid, chicks fed and the first clumsy flights, at close range and in real time. Orange keeps Australian Eastern Standard Time, UTC+10, UTC+11 in summer, so the birds' dawn falls in the European evening and the American afternoon. The town sits at around 900 metres beneath Mount Canobolas, an extinct volcano of 1,395 metres, high enough for frost and the odd snowfall. The nest is busiest from September to December; the rest of the year the adults still drop by.
