Description

Near the Pikla ponds in Luitemaa Nature Protection Area, there are two birdwatching towers – one is between the ponds and the second one, which is not as high, is located on the beach. The towers are perfect for birdwatching because they provide a great view of the coastal meadow and the sea. The low and indented coast is a favourable place for feeding and stopping for a lot of waterbirds. The birds you can see here include Énekes hattyú, Fütyülő réce, Kerceréce, Réti cankó, Piroslábú cankó, Rétisas, Barna rétihéja, Barkóscinege, Nádirigó, Hantmadár and others.
