Malta Airport

South  >  Malta

The airport runway is practically the closest thing to a grassland in Malta and is also a bird sanctuary. Therefore this area is good for birds of open country.

Beschrijving

The area around Malta International Airport is at its best in spring, particularly with north-west winds. On good days there can be good numbers of harriers, mostly Bruine Kiekendief but also Steppekiekendief (early-mid spring) and Grauwe Kiekendief (mid-late spring). The site can also be good for Kleine Torenvalk and Roodpootvalk (late spring). In practice any migrating species can be seen from the area since it is open, such as flocks of herons, waders, Bijeneter and Scharrelaar. Kortteenleeuwerik arrive in spring and remain to breed in small numbers. Other passerines include hirundines, including Roodstuitzwaluw, and pipits, including Roodkeelpieper. In late autumn, the site is also one of the best places in Malta to see Goudplevier and Kievit. Several rarities have been seen here over the years.
