Spring has arrived in Estonia. Although our fields are still covered with a thick layer of snow, this does not stop the arrival of the first spring migrants - Skylarks, Lapwings and Starlings. In few weeks, fields in West-Estonia will be covered with thousands Bewick's and Whooper Swans, White-fronted and Bean Geese, feeding up for the long journey to the arctic tundra.
Many of our forest birds are now active. On sunny mornings woodpeckers defend their territories, producing often stunning views of White-backed or Three-toed Woodpeckers. Recent sighting suggest that woodpeckers are doing well after last winter. Bogs are now resounding with lekking Black Grouse.

An early Spring trip to Estonia is a good chance to experience spectacular bird migration, observe forest bird specialities together with some very special wintering birds that are still present. In recent counts at least 200 Steller`s Eiders are in a tight flock at their main wintering area and several Hawk Owls have been found wintering at various sites round the country.
