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 Eja Močvarica, Stepska Eja, Eja Livadarka, Bjelonokta Vjetruša, Prepelica Sivkasta Bjeloguza, Isabelline Wheatear, Primorska Bjeloguza, Primorska Trepetljka Pupavac, Smeđoglavi Batić, Riđoglavi Svračak and more. In easterly winds, flocks of herons, including Čaplja Danguba and Žuta Čaplja, 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 Kaukal, Mala gregula, Smeđa čiopa, Modrokos and Zapadna grmuša.
