Silma Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Lääne County, Estonia

The Silma Nature Reserve encompasses 4,795 hectares of lagoons, waterways, islets, coastal meadows, and extensive reed beds along Estonia's southwestern coast.

The geographical formation of the reserve results from post-glacial processes that transformed former sea sections into present-day lakes and lagoons.

Researchers and naturalists conduct regular surveys of bird populations, documenting 225 different species that utilize this protected environment.

Six observation towers provide elevated vantage points for watching migratory birds, while marked trails guide visitors through different sections of the reserve.

The reserve functions as a critical fish spawning location and serves as a stopover point for numerous migratory birds in Western Estonia.
