Beskrivning
The forests of slopes in Gauja National Park with old deciduous trees attract less common species of woodpeckers (vitryggig hackspett, tretåig hackspett, spillkråka and mellanspett). Relatively often spotted are the elsewhere rare lundsångare, mindre flugsnappare and locally common järpe. slaguggla has started nesting in the park, and the smallest owl of Latvia — sparvuggla — is also seen more often. Many kornknarr and some species of warblers, which are not common in Western Europe (flodsångare, busksångare), are found in the riverside meadows of Gauja.
