Ari, I stayed in a guestroom at Vilsandi Park Headquarters and had my meals with the park supervisor and his wife at their nearby farmhouse. Black bread, butter and smoked eel - the breakfast of champions! I walked around and photographed the white lighthouse on the west end of Vilsandi. A former lighthouse keeper there was a well known ornithologist. He kept years of migration data and wrote a number of books and articles on Baltic birds. The White-Tailed Eagle there is related to but has a slightly larger wingspan than the North American Bald Eagle. Tony Niilus Ari wrote: >..Great places!
