Plekkidele

Plekkidele is a small, uninhabited island located in the Baltic Sea, off the coast of Estonia. Geographically, it is part of the West Estonian Archipelago. The island is characterized by its rocky shores and sparse vegetation, typical of many small islands in the region. Its low elevation and exposure to prevailing winds contribute to its windswept appearance.

The name "Plekkidele" is of Estonian origin, although its exact etymology is not widely documented. It is known primarily to local fishermen and ornithologists who frequent the area. Due to its remote location and lack of infrastructure, it is not a tourist destination. Access is typically by small boat, and conditions can be challenging due to the sea state.

Ecologically, Plekkidele serves as a resting and nesting site for various seabird species. Its isolation provides a degree of protection from land-based predators, making it an important habitat for migratory birds. The marine environment surrounding the island supports a range of fish and invertebrates, forming a small but significant part of the local ecosystem. There is no permanent human habitation on the island, and its primary significance lies in its natural environment rather than any historical or cultural features.
