Description
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 Saz delicesi but also Bozkır delicesi (early-mid spring) and Çayır delicesi (mid-late spring). The site can also be good for Küçük kerkenez and Ala doğan (late spring). In practice any migrating species can be seen from the area since it is open, such as flocks of herons, waders, Arıkuşu and Gökkuzgun. Bozkır Toygarı arrive in spring and remain to breed in small numbers. Other passerines include hirundines, including Kizil kirlangici, and pipits, including Kızılgerdanlı incirkuşu. In late autumn, the site is also one of the best places in Malta to see Altın yağmurcun and Kızkuşu. Several rarities have been seen here over the years.
