Pikla ponds bird observation tower

The low coastal sea is a good place for aquatic birds to stop and feed.

Near the Pikla ponds on the Pärnu Bay coast, a low platform offers a fine view over the coastal meadow and the shallow, indented sea, a rich feeding and resting place for waterbirds. Among the most numerous are Bewick's and whooper swans, wigeon and mallard, goldeneye and smew, bar-tailed godwit and wood sandpiper, and white-tailed eagles hunt over the bay. Spring and autumn migration bring the largest flocks. There is parking for three cars by the tower.
