Bird non-disturbance period source of clashes in Estonia as well as other countries

Forestry tycoons have complained that Estonia is the only country in the North-East or even the whole of Europe that mandates a bird non-disturbance period. Actually, although similarly to Estonia, some type of partial logging ban period and bird non-disturbance periods apply during nesting season also in other countries around the Baltic Sea, birds are still being killed and nests destroyed, and the lawfulness of such actions is currently being weighed by the European Court of Justice, wrote Postimees on April 16.
