Description
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 Sutavuðu, Kamış Bülbülü, Maskeli Ötleğen, Yelpaze Kuyruk and Söğüt serçesi.
On migration you may find multiple species like Gri balýkçýl, Gece Balikçili, Saz delicesi, Üveyik and various passerines. If you're lucky maybe Bataklýk suyelvesi, Kizil kirlangici, Su çulluğu and Çulhakuşu.
In winter the pools are at their biggest and a variety of species can also be found such as Kızılgerdan, Dağ kuyruksallayanı, Çayır incirkuşu, İspinoz and Dağ Bülbülü. For the full list of birds see the bird list below.

Access
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.
