The Eurasian goshawk (Accipiter gentilis), in CCUH territory, nest 2

The nesting of Eurasian goshawks in the area of the Children’s Clinical University Hospital in Riga has been observed since 2015. Currently, there are two active hen hawk nests located close to each other, both in good condition. However, the third and historically oldest nest has fallen. All of these nests are situated in old pine trees.

In previous years, a pair of Eurasian goshawks has alternated between nesting in these three locations. Notably, nesting has been successful each year up to now.
