Nesting of goshawks in the territory of the Children's Clinical University Hospital in Rīga (Latvia) has been known since 2015. Currently, there are two nests close to each other, both of which are in good condition. Historically there was a third one as well, but it has already fallen down. Nests are built in old pine trees.
In previous years, the pair of goshawks has alternated nesting in one of those three nests. It is interesting that until now nesting has been successful every single year.
In Latvia, the goshawk is considered as an endangered bird species. Although it is not yet included in the list of specially protected species (this is to be changed soon), it is included in the list of species whose nesting sites require the establishing of micro-reserves.
