Names
Vismeistri (Vismeister) 
From Fischmeister or ‘fishmaster’. Former village named after Toompea’s – what in today’s post-GoT world would be called – ‘Master of Fish’ in charge of fishing and fish supplies. Earliest record dating to 1515 as Vismestere. Name later adopted by a summer manor (see Mõisa) in Haabersti (for the locality’s history of name change, see Fišmeistri). In nearby Maardu there is a street called Teemeistri, inspector of roads, although some very dodgy pan-Gaian linguistico-bimbonerds claim this should be ‘tea-master’ (tee is both road and tea) due to a putative common parentage of Estonian and Japanese. One may legitimately suspect wishful thinking...
Viu (Viu)

- Herilaseviu, European honey-buzzard, Pernis apivorus
