Lahjendajad

Lahjendajad, also known as Lahjendajad Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Estonia. The island is part of the larger archipelago of the Moonsund Archipelago, which includes over 2,000 islands and islets. Lahjendajad is notable for its unique geological features and the diverse birdlife that inhabits it.

The island is primarily composed of limestone, which gives it a distinctive appearance with its steep cliffs and rocky terrain. The island's highest point is a small hill that stands at approximately 10 meters above sea level. The island is surrounded by shallow waters, which are home to a variety of marine life, including fish, shellfish, and various species of seaweed.

Lahjendajad is an important habitat for several species of birds, including the common gull, the black-headed gull, and the great black-backed gull. The island's rocky cliffs provide nesting sites for these birds, and the surrounding waters offer a rich food source. The island is also home to a small population of seals, which use the island as a resting and breeding ground.

The island is not accessible to the public and is protected as a nature reserve. The Estonian Nature Conservation Centre manages the island and works to protect its unique ecosystem. The island's remote location and lack of human disturbance make it an ideal habitat for a variety of species, and it serves as an important example of the natural beauty and biodiversity of the Baltic Sea region.
