Beschreibung
This reedbed, situated between Mosta and Naxxar, is a lesser known, yet rewarding birdwatching place, if you know when to go. There are a few birds present breeding such as Teichhuhn, Seidensänger, Samtkopf-Grasmücke, Zistensänger and Weidensperling.
On migration you may find multiple species like Graureiher, Nachtreiher, Rohrweihe, Turteltaube and various passerines. If you're lucky maybe Kleines Sumpfhuhn, Rötelschwalbe, Bekassine and Beutelmeise.
In winter the pools are at their biggest and a variety of species can also be found such as Rotkehlchen, Gebirgsstelze, Wiesenpieper, Buchfink and Heckenbraunelle. For the full list of birds see the bird list below.

Zugang
Take the road to leave Mosta down the hill and when the road makes a bend turn left. Keep driving down the hill until you see a small country road. Park your car on the opposite side of the road and walk down the trail to birdwatch. I suggest exploring the area by foot or with bicycle as the road is narrow and will be hard to drive through with car.
