Beskrivning
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 brun kärrhök but also stäpphök (early-mid spring) and ängshök (mid-late spring). The site can also be good for rödfalk and aftonfalk (late spring). In practice any migrating species can be seen from the area since it is open, such as flocks of herons, waders, biätare and blåkråka. korttålärka arrive in spring and remain to breed in small numbers. Other passerines include hirundines, including Rostgumpsvala, and pipits, including rödstrupig piplärka. In late autumn, the site is also one of the best places in Malta to see ljungpipare and tofsvipa. Several rarities have been seen here over the years.
