This live nest is located in the Black Kite breeding area, which has been known since 2011. Previously, the birds nested in another nest, but this one, built in an old birch, was found in 2017. Both in the year of its discovery and in the following two years, the kites successfully bred in this nest.

As is typical of kite, the nest is richly decorated with man-made "decorations" – plastic films, rags and pieces of rope, and pieces of plastic film have also fallen to the ground under the nest.

The live camera system at the nest was built at the end of March 2020, the first bird arrived in the nest on the afternoon of April 6. The breeding was successful, three nestlings were raised.

The camera system was built by Jānis Ķuze and Jānis Rudzītis, with the participation of Pēteris Daknis, Aleksejs Šarīpins and Renāte Kviese. Thanks to Aigars Kalvāns for information about the history of the nest population.
