📍 According to the information available to Dr. Māris Strazds, the nesting area of black storks has been known here since at least 2003, however, this nest was only found in January 2021.

📍 The nest could have been built in 2010 after the previous nest was abandoned. In 2021, there were no chicks, in 2022, three young birds were successfully hatched. In the previous nest in this area, one of the adult birds was ringed, while in this nest in 2022, both nesting adult birds were ringless.
