The estuary is like funnel-shaped, the mouth of a river from where the tides move in and out. Conversely, Delta is a triangular land at the river mouth travelled across by its distributaries. Rivers that encounter high tides are more likely to form estuary.

From Estuary and River delta pages on Wikipedia, you'd see that they are two different things entirely. An estuary is a body of water, while a delta is a landmass. Estuaries are places where the river meets the ocean. Deltas are formed by the accumulation of sediments borne by the river.
