Besides simply observing the conduct of birds, the Estonian amateur ornithologists also study our avifauna on the basis of several programs and projects with certain aims. Participating in all of them is certainly not feasible for one person, but it is well possible to pick some projects that seem more interesting on the basis of these short annotations. Then you can ask for further information from the Society and order the necessary observation instructions.
