Plazė is a lake of glacial origin found at the coast of the Baltic Sea, in Plazė Nature Reserve of the Seaside Regional Park. It is the perfect spot to watch aquatic birds during their migration. Various aquatic birds come here to rest and regain their strength on their long migratory journeys from the nesting grounds in the Ob and Yenisei deltas in Northern Russia to their wintering grounds in Western Europe (Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and Great Britain). For visitor convenience, there is a birdwatching hut equipped with viewing binoculars in the area.

Birds observed here

At the lake, visitors might find the grey heron, the common goldeneye, the tufted duck, the northern pintail, the gadwall, the northern shoveler, the common crane, the great egret, the water rail, and the white-tailed eagle. Occasionally, a long-tailed duck might make an appearance. Colonies of great cormorants dwell on the banks of the lake.
