Latvian Golden Eagle Nest

[Polly]

Great!
Yes, great, let's hope for the first delicate nest visits and resilient technology.

Thanks Liz!

[Polly]

The stream isn't going well and doesn't let us see much.
I can't judge whether there is or will be activity but the nest seems untouched.

Maybe with spring and the stream the eagles will come back.

February 25th

Seems the announced 2nd Nest is now online.

The description of the stream still confuses me a bit.
The title is Golden Eagle 2 - Lesser Spotted Eagle

Lesser Spotted Eagle - The nest is located in a
forest managed by JSC Latvia's State Forests, in
the Kuja Nature Park, on a Lesser Spotted Eagle
monitoring plot called "Žūklis", near the village of
Aizkuja. The eagles built their nest in 2018 and
successfully breed there in 2019. In 2020 the nest
was taken by a pair of Lesser Spotted Eagles,
thowever the youngling was talken away by a
Northern Goshawk

I don't know, maybe it's a Nest of surprises - both are possible. Let's see who slips in.

Polly, sova

this is a golden eagle nest. I think the camera moved from a lesser spotted eagles nest to this place.

Kaut arī notiekošais ligzdā ne vienmēr saskan ar cilvēka pozitīvajām emocijām, mēs kā projekta ieviesēji neiejauksimies dabiskajos procesos, šādai rīcībai nav pamatojuma un nebūtu robežu - kad iejaukties un kad nē.
Projekta mērķis ir iegūt zinātnisku un objektīvu informāciju par klinšu ērgļu ligzdošanu, lai arī kādas būtu sekmes.

GT:
Although what is happening in the nest does not always agree with the positive emotions of a person, we as project implementers will not interfere in natural processes, there is no justification for such behavior and there would be no limits - when to intervene and when not.
The aim of the project is to obtain scientific and objective information about the nesting of golden eagles, whatever the success.

I like it! So we can observe how successful the nest is in this area. No intervention!

Vērotāja, thank you for all the information!

Good Morning Polly, sova and all

Ugis Bergmanis wrote in the chat:
Good morning! This is Spilve's artificial nest, which I built in 2014. Golden eagles have never nested in this nest, but the nest is thoroughly stocked. The nest is located 1.2 km from the second nest

In the second nest in 2020, the baby died when Virsis disappeared. Last year's successful nest had not been visited by eagles as late as February, while this nest was slightly strewn. That's why we installed the system here

Both live broadcasts of lesser spotted eagles - Aizkuja and Mālsala - will be saved. We will connect in test mode soon to understand if everything works and what parts need to be ordered and changed

[Polly]

Good morning Liz & everyone!

This information in the chat today unravels things a bit. This way it is more understandable and makes sense.
Thanks for your translation!

... while this nest was slightly strewn

That was my thought too.
Even though it looks so small. But the perspective can be misleading.

I am very excited.

Thanks to LVM for their commitment and Uģis Bergmanis for providing the information.

​Sekoju līdzi visām LV un EE kamerām. Tagad jāskatās, ko ērgļu pāris darīs turpmāk. Gadu pirms Spilve iedēja olas, ligzdas būvniecība tā intensīvi tika uzsākta iepriekšējā gada augustā

GT:
I follow all LV and EE cameras. Now it remains to be seen what the pair of eagles will do next. A year before Spilve laid eggs, the construction of the nest was intensively started in August of the previous year

17:31: A Golden Eagle visits the nest. - Thank you YT-chatters in several threads mentioning this event!







17:43: He branches behind/near the cam before leaving.

[Susanne]

But there is more to see:

18:34 ff.: I think this is a Great Grey Shrike (lanius excubitor). First two, then four!

Labdien, Vērotāji! Tas ir pilnīgi pieaudzis klinšu ērglis. Iespējams, ka tas ir Spilves draugs, kurš maina spalvas - galva ir raiba, pamīšus aug tumšas spalvas. Jūnija tēviņam galva bija vienmērīgi gaiša. Nevar arī izslēgt pilnīgi svešu ērglic, to redzēsim, kad ligzdā būs arī Spilve.

Hello, Watchers! This is a fully grown golden eagle. It is possible that it is Spilve's friend who changes feathers - the head is mottled, dark feathers grow alternately. The head of the June male was evenly light. You can't rule out a completely foreign eagle, we'll see when Spilve is in the nest as well.
