Peregrine falcon
The peregrine falcon is an uncommon migratory bird in Lääne County. It can be seen here in the autumn, between September and October, and less frequently in May during the spring migration. Peregrine falcons frequently hunt waders and smaller ducks that eat on beach meadows and along the water’s edge.
They are most commonly found in Haeska, Põgari and Cape Puise. The peregrine falcon nested in Marimetsa Bog in Lääne County in the middle of the twentieth century, but no evidence of nesting has been found in the current century.
