Besides the common English, Scientific and Maltese names, each photo states the location where it was taken. Note that most birds were photographed in one of the very few areas in Malta where constant monitoring is carried out in favour of the protection of birds. Just imagine if all our island was protected in the same manner! I would like to thank the management at Ghadira Nature Reserve for the dedication and professionalism performed throughout the year, and also a number of farmers and landowners who grant me permission to take photos in their property, especially in the Manikata area.
