The hide is open from the end of December until beginning of March.
In Estonia, more than 60 pairs of Golden Eagles and over 300 pairs of White-tailed Eagles nest, and both of these eagle species also stay here for the winter. During their winter foraging, both golden and white-tailed eagles regularly visit our eagle hide areas.
Our eagle hides are located in Alutaguse, about an hour and a half’s drive (130 km) from Tallinn. From the parking area, it’s about a 300-meter walk to the hides. The hides are heated and equipped with warm running water and a toilet. The hide has two separate bedrooms, a dedicated photography room, and a living area equipped with an electric kettle.
The Comfort hide has eight photo openings, it comfortably accommodates eight photographers and up to ten people in total. If you book a spot in the Comfort hide, please note that there may be other people as well.
In addition to eagles, visitors can photograph and watch Ravens, Grey-headed and Great Spotted Woodpeckers, Hooded Crows, Magpies, Jays, various tits, Bullfinches, and other wintering passerines — and occasionally also Goshawks, Sparrowhawks, Ural Owls, and Pygmy Owls. Mammals sometimes appear near the hides as well, such as Elk(Moose) Wild Boar, Raccoon Dogs, Pine Martens, and Roe Deer — and with a good luck, even Wolves or Lynxes.
Overview
In Alutaguse, snow usually covers the ground from around Christmas until the mid of March. The eagles land on a snowy clearing dotted with a few solitary trees, about 30 meters from the hide. At the far edge of the clearing, roughly 100 meters from the hide, there is a large, dark forest.
The hide has four bedrooms and a separate photography and watching area. There are chairs for seating and windows covered with one-way mirror film, allowing you to observe the birds undisturbed. If you will stay in the night you will get private bedroom.
If you wish, you can arrive the evening before and stay overnight in the hide, so you don’t have to travel early in the morning.
