Beschrijving
One of the best places in the Maltese Islands to see local species such as Blauwe Rotslijster, Kortteenleeuwerik and Brilgrasmus, against a backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea and jaw-dropping cliffs. Torenvalk and Slechtvalk also nest in the area. However, the cliffs are better known for the largest Scopoli's Pijlstormvogel 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 Stormvogeltje and Yelkouanpijlstormvogel, which are much harder to see. You might be luckier with spotting nesting Vale Gierzwaluw.
The open garrigue and steppe habitat that dominate the area attracts migrants such as chats, wheatears, pipits, Hoopoes and Roodkopklauwier but even species like Velduil. Ta’ Ċenċ and the cliffs further west have a good record for rarer species too. Diadeemroodstaart, Woestijntapuit, Kleine Kortteenleeuwerik and Klapekster are to name some.

NeeExtra info
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.
