Brown bears, moose and bird

Eesti on tuntud oma rikkaliku linnustiku poolest. Ning oma 700-800 pruunkaru, 300 ilvese ja 200 hundiga on Eesti ka üks suurema suurkiskjate populatsiooniga Euroopas. Lisaks 12 000 põtra, lendoravat, tuhandeid kährikuid, 16 000 kobrast ja 1500 viigerhüljest – hea põhjus linnu- ja imetajatevaatlusretke ühendamiseks.
Sügisel on tuhanded rändeks valmistuvad sookured, haned ja pardid! Põtrade paaritumine, pruunkarud toituvad enne talveund, viigerhülgete kogunemised, hundid õpetaksid oma poegi jahti pidama.
