Beschrijving

BirdLife Malta's Simar Nature Reserve is located at the end of a shallow valley just opposite the sea and surrounded by rich agricultural land.

Despite its small size the site is rich in the variety of species one can record with special emphasis on reed dwelling and water-loving species. Flocks of herons and egrets settle during migration whilst small numbers of waterfowl also occasionally winter. Ideal for observing smaller species like Klein Waterhoen and Porseleinhoen, Waterral and Watersnip.
