Dwejra

The Dwejra area is open country with low vegetation. The area is one of the most geologically interesting areas in the Maltese Islands, with sheer coastal cliffs, the offshore island called Fungus Rock, the so-called inland sea etc. Being the westernmost point of the archipelago, the site is a magnet for migrants. The site is at it's best during spring migration, when one can see several species typical of open habitats such as moták pochop, moták stepní, moták lužní, poštolka jižní, křepelka polní bělořit šedý, bělořit plavý, bělořit okrový, linduška úhorní dudek chocholatý, bramborníček hnědý, ťuhýk rudohlavý and more. In easterly winds, flocks of herons, including volavka červená and volavka vlasatá, may be seen migrating offshore or resting on the coast. Autumn and winter are less exciting but can still be good for migrants and common wintering birds. The area also hosts interesting breeding species in summer, including Buřňák šedý (ssp. diomedea), buřňák středomořský, rorýs šedohnědý, skalník modrý and pěnice brýlatá.
