🐦The second day of EuroBirdwatch 2025 in Malta!
On Sunday, 5 October, BirdLife Malta will host two bird ringing sessions at Għadira Nature Reserve. This is an incredible chance to learn more about bird ringing techniques and the importance of this research tool, which provides global data for the study of migration, distribution, and many other aspects of bird ecology.
Bird ringing in the Maltese Islands is carried out by the BirdLife Malta Ringing Scheme. We have been practicing this research technique since 1965, and this year marks the 60th anniversary for us!
We will have an early start with two bird ringing sessions before the reserve opens to the general public. There will be two sessions on the day: one starting at 7:30 am and the other at 8:30 am. Each session can accommodate a maximum of 20 participants. Attendance is free, but places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To join, please book your preferred session and complete a separate registration form for each person in your group.

8:30 - 9:30 session: https://forms.gle/L9mo5hG2DTerJ81M6
IMPORTANT: before 10am the reserve will only be open for those attending the ringing session and attendees will not be allowed to visit areas beyond the reception area where the ringing session will be held.
EuroBirdwatch 2025 events in Malta will start the previous day, 4 October, with birdwatching sessions in several locations across the island. For details about the first day of EuroBirdwatch 2025 weekend keep an eye on our social media or check our website.
