Golden and White-Tailed Eagle photography in winter
About
The majestic but cautious Golden Eagle is considered to be the absolute pinnacle of Estonia’s bird kingdom, and the opportunity to see it undisturbed, up close, and for a long time offers an unforgettable nature experience.
The Eagle hide is heated and situated from car parking lot only 250 meters to walk. You should enter the hide at least an hour before sunrise and not leave the hide before it is totally dark (about an hour after sunset). One option would also be to go there on the previous night/evening. In the hide are WC and kitchen.
Besides the Golden Eagle, there’s a good chance of seeing White-tailed eagle, Goshawk, Jays, Ravens and various tits. With a bit of luck, also Pine Martens and Red Fox are visible.
There are 4 photography holes in the wall and plenty of space for 2 photographers, maximal 4 photographers. The background is mostly an open landscape and some trees.
