First bird, an Oystercatcher was ringed in Estonia in June 1910, only ten years after bird ringing activity was started in the world. During 100 years 4 million birds were marked with different type of rings. The presentation will give overview of the long history of bird ringing activity in Estonia and talk about the greatest findings from this period.

Estonia is a land of great natural beauty. With its Siberian-like forests, Scandinavian peat-bogs, watermeadows full of geese and waders, and a fascinating coastline, together with a low human population, empty roads and excellent infrastructure, Estonia has rapidly become a favourite wildlife destination in Europe.

In recent  years Estonia has been a magnet for birdwatchers from Europe and beyond. Now this Baltic State is also becoming a mecca for butterfly and dragonfly enthusiasts eager to see the country´s speciality species.  Because of its history, large parts of the country have remained completely wild, while farming methods in many areas are unintensive resulting in a mosaic of excellent habitats such as numerous flowery meadows, natural forests and massive bog areas. 

We would be happy to meet with you and give you a presentation of our services whatever time is suitable for you during Birdfair 2012.
