Lesser Spotted Eagle Birch Nest Cam

A Birch-Top Eyrie

This live camera overlooks a Lesser Spotted Eagle nest cradled in the upper branches of a birch tree roughly 20 metres above the forest floor. The pair Uldis and Laima raise a single chick here, and the close vantage reveals every detail of the eagles' plumage, the lining of the nest, and the fledgling's daily growth.

The Clanga pomarina Story

The Lesser Spotted Eagle is a medium-sized raptor of eastern Europe's woodlands, hunting rodents, frogs, and small reptiles across forest edges and meadows. Latvia hosts one of the densest breeding populations in the world, making this nest a window into a species of real conservation significance.

A Living Boreal Forest

Surrounding the nest is a mixed boreal woodland of birch and spruce typical of Latvia's Zemgale lowlands. The dense canopy and quiet understory shelter a rich community of birds and mammals that share the eagles' habitat.

Conservation in Action

The feed is operated by the Latvian Fund for Nature as part of a long-running project to protect the species. Watching the nest offers an intimate, unintrusive view of wild eagles and the careful fieldwork that helps secure their future.
