Evening Talk: Travels in Western Estonia by Helen Moore

Estonia is one of 3 Baltic States in the EU. It has an area less than a quarter of Great Britain and a population about 1/7th that of London. A feature of Western Estonia is the large number of islands and long coastline and while it may not be everyone’s first choice for a wildlife trip, for all-round naturalists like Helen and Terry it had everything: birds not seen at home, wild orchids in profusion, dragonflies, and other insects and much more on extensive nature reserves and in the wider countryside. This talk will take a whistle-stop tour of some of the larger nature reserves and introduce some of their inhabitants.
