The nest observed in the camera is located in Kurzeme, Durbe county. This nesting area has been known only since 2014, when the first nest of this pair was found, which was built in a pine tree that had been felled. In 2014, a pair of eagles nested very successfully it was one of the four known sea eagle nests in Latvia that year, in which three young were raised. In 2015, the eagles decided to move to a new nest and started building it in the top of a nearby old fir tree that had been broken down by wind or snow. Several branches have grown around the place of the break, which formed a jack suitable for building a nest at a height of about 25 meters. The camera was placed on one of the top branches at the end of January at a time when nest building had just started, thus giving a rare opportunity to observe the process of building a new nest so far, cameras have been placed mainly at nests of sea eagles that have been inhabited for several years. The nest is interesting in that it is built in spruce, as sea eagles rarely choose spruce for nesting this is only the fourth nest built in spruce known in Latvia so far. About half of all sea eagle nests are built in pines, a third in aspens and to a lesser extent in birches, black alders and oaks. In spruce, nests are usually built directly on such broken tops and are usually high above the ground. The highest known nest of sea eagles in Latvia is located in the territory of Ķemeru National Park, 31.5 meters above the ground and is also built in spruce.
