 Whooper swan spring

 

Nearly everywhere groups of newly arrived grey geese, bean geese and whooper swans can be seen. But mark also the wintering birds that gather in flocks – they leave us to go north to their nesting areas. Redpolls and snow buntings have joined the general bustle. There is an airport atmosphere in the air: some come, some go, some pass through. In this respect Estonia is a wonderland for nature lovers – migration lanes as rich as ours occur in few other places. Wetlands is a key word – they are good for birds to gather and to forage in.

 

The mighty migration show is only beginning yet.
