 Marten says: "I liked it there because it was interesting all the time and we saw different species of birds. I liked  cows and being on the viewing tower most. We saw some swans and other birds. Afterwards we drank juice and had pastry." Translated by Kaarel-Eerik

Markus says: „The trip was awesome. When we made it to Matsalu, we went for a hike. During the hike, a lot of things happened and we saw a lot. We saw different birds: lapwing, crane, stork and many others. We also went to the watch tower. I liked this hike a lot, because it was lots of fun. In conclusion, it was very nice.“ Translated by Kaarel-Eerik. 

Kert says: "We had a trip where we saw diffrent birds, for example a buzzard, chaffinch, swan, crow, fishgull, wagtail, ducks, and more. We went to a museum where there were stuffed birds and animals. On our way back home we saw a deer. I like to see swan's nest." Translated by Marten

Paul says: "At Matsalu we watched birds with binoculars. We walked a long way until we reached the watch tower. There we sat a while and watched birds. Then we walked back. The way back was more interesting because we had to jump over puddles. After that we drove back to Kehtna." Translated by Marten
