EuroBirdwatch is the largest event of the BirdLife Partnership and this year it is celebrating its 25th anniversary!
We are celebrating EuroBirdwatch18 with birdwatching sessions and other activities at Malta’s largest woodland area of Buskett to experience the autumn bird migration! We will have several ongoing activities and you can turn up and join us at any time you wish. The highlight will be the observation of the migrating birds of prey at a time when the sky is full of raptors on their way in search of their wintering spot. Just bring your binoculars with you…if you don’t have any we will be providing some on site!
This event is organised every year by BirdLife Malta as part of a Europe-wide initiative held by all BirdLife partner organisations during the same weekend in several countries. Hundreds of local birdwatchers will identify and count passing birds. Malta will contribute too by reporting its numbers.
Saturday, 6 October 15:00-18:00
This event will consist of birdwatching, where our bird expert
