Eagle owl Kassikakk Bubo bubo
From Tuesday we can see what goes on in the nest of the dusk and night active eagle owls in the night too. The Latvian team installed IR lights at the nest.
We will write more in the next few days about the nest life and activities of these owls.
The breeding territory of eagle owls in Kurzeme (Courland) in Latvia is known since 1998. For several years nesting on the ground failed, and so a nest platform was built in a spruce at a height of 10 m in 2013. Since then the breeding of the eagle owl pair has been successful.
