Last morning..

...of the birdwatching trip "Estonia in autumn" at Pärnu area was extremely successful. Chilly and sunny morning in the forests offered us many suprises. The biggest one in all ways was stunning views
of Eagle Owl. All group members had chance to observe the biggest Owl of
the Europe for 10 minutes through the scope. In the same spot we heard
Hazel Hen - a possible breakfeast for the Eagle Owl. The activity of
Woodpeckers in the same spot can be compared with the best spring
mornings. In one spot we had chance to get 6 Woodpecker species -
including 3 Black, 2 Grey-headed, several Lesser Spotted, White-backed
and Three-toad Woodpecker. After 6 days birding in Estonia we have more
than 140 species in our trip list.
