All wintering birds are now with us in Malta. In this video with footage sent in by Aron Tanti over the past weeks, we've grouped together a number of different species which spend the winter here. These include the Dunnock (Maltese name: Żiemel), the Meadow Pipit (Pespus), the White Wagtail (Zakak Abjad) and the scarcer Bluethroat (Rożinjol Ikħal). The latter is a small, colourful visitor seen often in autumn, with a handful spending the winter here. | BirdLife Malta

Feeding birds is a beautiful experience but not all foods are safe. Bread can cause malnutrition, deformities such as angel wing, and long-term health problems. Choosing the right food matters. Help keep our birds healthy, strong, and safe. #WildlifeWelfare #ResponsibleFeeding #WildlifeWednesdays #BirdLifeMalta | BirdLife Malta

As one of the few birds that kept us company throughout the summer, #LittleEgrets (Agrett Abjad in Maltese) still manage to find ways to entertain us. They are constantly proving to be very good subjects for camera traps, showcasing their feeding, preening, and chasing each other around. Here is a short video edit with some impressive close-ups of these birds taken by our Simar Nature Reserve camera trap. Some other waders can also be seen in the video, including Greenshank and Moorhen. Editing

🐦☁️Meet the Common Swift (Rundun) – nature’s ultimate aerialist! These birds spend almost their entire lives in flight, only stopping to breed in narrow cracks high up in buildings. With sickle-shaped wings and superpowered claws, they eat, sleep, and even drink on the wing. Keep your eyes (and ears) open this summer – those screaming black shapes overhead? They're Swifts in action! 🐦💨 Footage by Nicholas Galea, Aron Tanti , James Aquilina, Noel Camilleri, Mario V Gauci and Mike Wilson. Edite

🌼 Spring has arrived at Salina — and mostly moved on, making way for the beach birds. Keep an eye out for Little Ringed Plovers (Monakella), Little Stints (Tertuxa) and even the rare Spoonbill (Paletta), all feeding in the mudflats. 🐦 The bright Yellow Wagtail (Isfar) is also here, taking the place of its winter cousin, the White Wagtail (Zakak Abjad). A striking seasonal visitor not to be missed! 💛 📍Visit Salina to experience the magic of spring migration in action. 🎥 Footage by Aron Tanti

Malta may be small, but it plays a huge role in bird migration. 🕊️ Every year, dozens of species – from raptors to warblers – use our islands as a rest stop. Over 435 bird species have been recorded in Malta, many during migration seasons. 🇲🇹✨ 📷 Facebook - Natura Maltija - Wildlife Malta #GuideMeMalta #BirdMigration #MaltaNature #WildlifeMalta #DiscoverMalta #Malta | GuideMeMalta.com

Just before Christmas, BirdLife Malta volunteers counted over 29,000 wintering Common Starlings across Malta and Gozo, with the largest roost recorded at Junior College, Msida. These important counts help us understand bird populations and highlight the value of urban trees that provide vital winter shelter. Do you know of another roost site? Let us know in the comments for next year’s survey. Footage: Simone Davide Brunori, Antonia Micallef and Nicholas Galea Editing: Simone Davide Brunori #Sta

On Sunday, 29th September, BirdLife Malta volunteers had an unforgettable experience while keeping watch over a young Short-toed Snake-eagle. As the majestic bird settled in for a quiet roost, it surprised everyone with a bold move—swooping down and snatching up a snake that had ventured out, unknowingly becoming the eagle's next meal! Talk about a Snake-eagle living up to its name! 🦅🍴 Short-toed Snake-eagles are rare, annual migrants, often targeted by poachers as has been the case on Septemb

🇬🇧 It is great what awareness can achieve, and we can only thank Buġibba residents for highlighting this matter to us following the saga with Mosta’s obliterated roost site for birds. BirdLife Malta has today filed a document to the attention of the ERA - Environment & Resources Authority regarding the proposed obliteration of a number of mature Ficus Trees in Buġibba which are proposed to make way for a mega health centre development (PA 4962/22).
