Saare observation tower
Lääne County, Silma Nature Reserve
From this observation tower you can view with binoculars the birds swimming on the Sutlepa sea. During spring and autumn migration you can see thousands of aquatic birds stopping here (swans, ducks, aythyas, long-tailed ducks etc). On April and May nights you can hear the load low voice eurasian bittern from the reed, that is similar to blowing into a glass bottle. Over the sea you can see gliding the white-tailed eagle.
