In partnership with a local company, Wildlife Dreams is able to organise and book places Estonia’s best and ideally located hide for photographing Golden and White-Tailed Eagles in winter.
Eagle Hide Experience
While Estonia’s wilderness is renowned for its population of approximately 1,000 Brown Bears, another magnificent species commands equal reverence among nature enthusiasts. The Golden Eagle, a master of Estonia’s expansive bogs and ancient forests, represents the crown jewel of the country’s avian kingdom. This majestic yet elusive raptor offers observers an extraordinary opportunity to witness one of nature’s most impressive predators in its natural habitat.
The Golden Eagle Experience
Observing the Golden Eagle undisturbed, at close range, and for extended periods creates an unforgettable wildlife encounter. The cautious nature of these magnificent birds makes such intimate viewing experiences exceptionally rare and treasured by wildlife photographers and nature lovers alike.

Wildlife Diversity
While the Golden Eagle remains the star attraction, the hide offers excellent opportunities to observe a rich variety of other species. Regular sightings include the impressive White-tailed Eagle, the swift and powerful Goshawk, intelligent Ravens, colourful Jays, and various tit species that animate the forest canopy.
Wildlife enthusiasts may also be rewarded with glimpses of elusive mammals. Pine Martens, with their graceful arboreal movements, and the clever Red Fox occasionally make appearances, adding an extra dimension of excitement to the viewing experience.
