LESSER SPOTTED EAGLES IN LATVIA

The nature documentary tells about the life of lesser spotted eagles, showing the life cycle of the bird, but it is also a story about natural processes in a broader sense. The habitats necessary for a sustainable existence of lesser spotted eagles - old forests with large trees, meadows and pastures - are home to a great diversity of nature; therefore, by restoring habitats suitable for lesser spotted eagles, the diversity of the ecosystem as a whole is preserved. The film shows the processes of habitat restoration in Kuja Nature Park and Grivu Island in Lubana, highlights the lesser spotted eagle-friendly farming opportunities. For several seasons, the authors of the film followed the work of the project manager and ornithologist Jānis Ķuze inspecting the nests of lesser spotted eagles and working to ensure their protection.
Film produced by art center RUCKA, director and camera: Māris Maskalāns

The only word of Latvian I know is "ērglis" because that is the word that started it all five or six years ago when, idly following my CZcams algorithm, I stumbled upon the Latvian Fund for Nature's livestreams of several eagle nests in the Latvian wilderness, among others Jūras ērglis (Haliaeetus albicilla) and Zivjērglis (Pandion haliaetus). Since then, me and my daughter have diligently followed many happy and not so happy nesting seasons of the Accipitridae family and also of the Black Stork (Ciconia nigra) and have formed quite an attachment to some of the protagonists. This documentary gives a fascinating peek behind the curtain of the work these wonderful nature protectionists have cut out for them. Well done, you all, and a thousand thanks for all that you're doing! 👏 👏 👏 👏

Paldies Jums! Dzīvoju Drustu pagastā Smiltenes novadā, un mazais ērglis tur ir redzams itin bieži. Iepriekš nezināju neko par šo brīnišķīgo putnu. Ļoti labs video

Great documentary, and I recognize some of the nests you featured as I followed live the 2023 breeding season.
