Birding in a small northernmost baltic state is rewarding. For the birders from other parts of the Europe or even futher away, there are many highlight species to see.
Although birding can be done all year round, the most popular times to visit the country are late winter/early spring, spring/early summer or in the autumn.
Highlight species
Hazel Hen
Although Hazel Hen is quite widespread on the mainland (this species is not found on the islands), it´s far from being easy one to see. Hazel Hen is shy and good views needs a lot of patience, good local knowledge and luck. Most often Hazel Hen either call in thick forest or you get couple seconds long flyby views. But we have every spring trips then they show really well. Below are some images taken by Tarvo Valker on our birding tours.
