The location of Spithami at the north-west corner of mainland Estonia, makes it one of the best sites for passage birds in the country. It is particularly noted for its seawatching, including movements of geese, grebes, swans and divers (up to 1,000 divers per day in late April). In early May, there can be tens of thousands of sea duck gathering offshore. Both King Eider and Steller’s Eider occur regularly.




All the sites in this section are treated, in detail and with precise maps and directions, in my book ‘Finding Birds in Estonia’

If you have any information which you feel would help to update the book, please email me at dave@easybirder.co.uk and I’ll add your observations to these pages

Looking back along the road from Dirhami in 2010 you could see this occupied Black woodpecker nest
