Seasonal Migration Zones

Seasonal migration zones in Matsalu National Park are internationally important areas where large numbers of birds stop to rest and feed during spring and autumn migrations. These zones are central to the park’s global conservation value. During peak migration periods, thousands of waterfowl and wading birds can be seen gathering in shallow waters and wetlands. The zones change character with the seasons, offering different viewing experiences throughout the year. For travelers, the seasonal migration zones provide one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences in Estonia, combining open landscapes with remarkable bird activity.
