Description
The tip of Cape Sõrve has an open and walkable beach with a big lighthouse. Before the tip of the peninsula there are lot's of juniper bushes. In these bushes over the years many rarities have been found.
During winter many Βραχοσκαλίδρα, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός and Χιονοτσίχλονο can be found. Sometimes it's possible to see Τριδάκτυλος Γλάρος and Steller's Eider.
In spring and autumn the migration is spectacular, for example more than half a million (Κοινός) Σπίνος and 30,000 (Κοινή) Φάσσα have been counted in just a single day. Over 200 species are recorded in this area each year.
