Golden Eagle nest camera near Central Training Field (Golden Eagle 2)
The Golden Eagle 2 (Kaljukotkas 2) nest camera is located in the extended danger area near the Central Training Field in Northern Estonia. The training of the Defense Forces involves rather noisy activities or moving a large number of equipment and people within the limits of the training ground. The National Defense Investment Center has ordered a study carried out by Eagle Club (Kotkaklubi) to analyze the effects of these activities on the eagles nesting in the vicinity of the training fields. Among other activities, we installed a nest camera on a Golden Eagle's.
Kaljukotkas 2 is a long-standing territory of Golden Eagles - one of the territories located south of Lahemaa National Park in Põhja-Kõrvemaa. On this territory, the nests have been located on various bogislands or at the edges of the bog; Golden Eagles generations have changed, but the territory has remained the same. Eagles have been nesting in this nest at the top of the big aspen since 2016. In recent years, the chicks here fledged, albeit at a later than average time. This indicates later than average laying of eggs. The chick of 2023 also got a tracker with the help of our German colleague Oliver Krone. He flew from the hatching territory to Latvia at the beginning of November, returned to Estonia at the beginning of December and spent the winter here. We haven't included any Golden Eagles to watch on the migration map because they tend to be quite stationary. Some of the young birds hatched in Estonia still move to Poland and Ukraine for the winter.
