Beschrijving
This reedbed, situated between Mosta and Naxxar, is a lesser known, yet rewarding birdwatching place, if you know when to go. There are a few birds present breeding such as Waterhoen, Cetti's Zanger, Kleine Zwartkop, Graszanger and Spaanse Mus.
On migration you may find multiple species like Blauwe Reiger, Kwak, Bruine Kiekendief, Zomertortel and various passerines. If you're lucky maybe Klein Waterhoen, Roodstuitzwaluw, Watersnip and Buidelmees.
In winter the pools are at their biggest and a variety of species can also be found such as Roodborst, Grote Gele Kwikstaart, Graspieper, Vink and Heggenmus. For the full list of birds see the bird list below.

Toegang
Take the road to leave Mosta down the hill and when the road makes a bend turn left. Keep driving down the hill until you see a small country road. Park your car on the opposite side of the road and walk down the trail to birdwatch. I suggest exploring the area by foot or with bicycle as the road is narrow and will be hard to drive through with car.
