As an enthusiastic English birder and photographer, I would not visit Malta, as the hunting and trapping of birds is still going on despite the EU law. However, my sister-in-law has now moved to Malta, so my wife and I came for a holiday and to see the migration last month.
We spent every evening atBuskett and it was a fantastic experience, not just seeing the birds but also the number of friendlyMaltese watching and making us so welcome. We also got in touch with the Għadira Nature Reserve and spent a lovely morning watching birds being ringed and walking round the reserve.
We had a great time and will be back next year.
