My favourite is the beach I used to go to on holiday when I was a kid. I love watching the tide ebb and flow, so many happy memories.
Do you watch any and if so what is your favourite?

I thought this was going to be rude 🙈

Oh gosh, loads! Some on YouTube, some on the company's website. No time to do links but here's a few:
Kansas Zoo penguin cam
Bears at a waterfall in the Rockies somewhere
Aurora borealis in Finland and Norway
Polzeath surf cam
Isle of Wight cams (good for watching the thunderstorms over the past few days)
Tiny Kittens
Fowey harbour cam
NYC skyline cams

There's plenty more! Search Explore live cams on YouTube. I particularly love the Hawaiian surf cams when the swell is in.

Lots of bird feeder cams all over the world - interesting if you're a birder.

Abbey road.

I like to occasionally look at the nazare surf cam to see big waves.

Monterey Bay Aquarium has a load of live cams, including sea otters and penguins. My fave though is the jellyfish cam, very relaxing.

Masai Mara cams around the watering holes are gorgeous

TeapotCollection · 06/09/2022 07:25

Have you got the EarthCam app? You get a handful for free but for one off small payment (I paid £5 two years ago, don’t know if it’s gone up) you get over 200. Best £5 I’ve ever spent

Robert Fuller and his baby owls (and other wildlife)
I always watch Stonehenge on the winter solstice. It's the most calming day of the year (English Heritage Live Feed)
Going to look at some of the others, thank you!

Alderney wildlife trust camera of the puffins.

deeperthanallroses · 06/09/2022 07:33

Ha, I clicked on this thinking I’d report it but these sound great 😁

Sophoclesthefox · 06/09/2022 07:36

I didn’t know I needed this today, but I do- watching otter feeding time has helped me get in a good headspace for the day!

Riapia · 06/09/2022 07:42

Tinos harbour cam.

Warren store cam.

TeapotCollection · 06/09/2022 07:44

Also skylinewebcams.com

Lots of adverts but hey, it’s free

I like the shetland webcams for the northern lights, I was in the airport at majorca early hours Sunday morning waiting for my flight home watching the northern lights up in Scotland to take my mind off how much I hate flying 🤣 there have been some spectacular shows the last few nights!

Hotelhelp · 06/09/2022 07:51

Thank you for this thread. I am going to have some of these on in the background while I work today.

FidginSpinnins · 06/09/2022 08:09

Oooh thanks @Nsws2015

Seeing the northern lights is at the top of my bucket list so this will be fab until I get my act together!

It had never once occurred to me that there may be a web cam way to see them! Grin
