Description
One of the best places in the Maltese Islands to see local species such as Monticole bleu, Alouette calandrelle and Fauvette à lunettes, against a backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and jaw-dropping cliffs. Faucon crécerelle and Faucon pèlerin also nest in the area. However, the cliffs are better known for the largest Puffin de Scopoli colony in the archipelago, which is at least a 1,000 pairs strong. On summer nights a cacophony of these birds' calls can be enjoyed from land or even better join one of BirdLife Malta’s special sunset boat trips to see them! The cliffs hold two other seabird species, namely Océanite tempête and Puffin yelkouan, which are much harder to see. You might be luckier with spotting nesting Martinet pâle.
The open garrigue and steppe habitat that dominate the area attracts migrants such as chats, wheatears, pipits, Hoopoes and Pie-grièche à tête rousse but even species like Hibou des marais. Ta’ Ċenċ and the cliffs further west have a good record for rarer species too. Rougequeue de Moussier, Traquet du désert, Alouette pispolette and Pie-grièche grise are to name some.

Remember not to use bright lights and not to leave any trash at coastal areas, especially cliffs which are home to shearwaters. Organic trash sustains rat populations which then feed on shearwater eggs and chicks. For more information on seabird conservation in Malta visit: https://birdlifemalta.org/arcipelagugarnija.
