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 Лебідь-кликун, Свищ євразійський, Гоголь зеленоголовий, Коловодник болотяний, Коловодник звичайний, Орлан-білохвіст, Лунь очеретяний, Сутора вусата, або синиця вусата, Очеретянка велика, Кам’янка звичайна and others.
