Description
Luitemaa Nature Reserve is a wetland complex on the south-western coast of Estonia that consists of diverse coastal and inland habitats including shallow sea, capes and islands, coastal meadows and reed-beds. The coastal meadows near Võiste have shallow waters that attract large amounts of dabbling ducks (Boz ördek, Yeşilbaş, Çıkrıkçın, Fiyu, Çamurcun and so on), Suna and swans.
