Again from Malta and regardless of preserving my eyes and ears open it was kind of birdless- just some Sardinian Warblers, Italian (Maltese) Sparrows, a few Swallows, a couple of Yellow-legged Gulls and what seemed like a excessive Honey Buzzard going over. Had a pleasant encounter with a Swallowtail butterfly and had a Rush Veneer in a restuarant. That was principally it!
It was completely not a birding journey although and I did not spend any time in first rate habitat and spent more often than not doing admin, conferences, purchases and household meet ups- the household meet ups have been nice and the admin and different bits went properly.
The journey targets have been to satisfy up with household, log out on a brand new construct and get it rented out and get Maltese citizenship and an EU passport. All the things went to plan and all of the balls are rolling so an excellent success.
What’s this received to do with birding? Effectively, that is a part of the machine within the background that generates the money and time to go birding and do our tasks. Subsequent journey will probably be a full on birding journey.
Marsaskala Bay- my mum’s dwelling village.
We randomly ran into an outdated hunter who confirmed me his collection- some good Med birds in there- three skuas sp by the appears to be like of it.
As a part of the three way partnership with one other proprietor on this block we constructed two additional flooring and painted the constructing pink. Seems to be alright to me.
Household meet up- my mum and brothers and sisters. The principle purpose for this journey was to satisfy up with my brother Paul (on the precise) who lives kind of wherever on this planet and refuses to go to the UK for varied causes so we’ve to satisfy up on ‘impartial’ floor. I spent quite a lot of the week consuming all my favorite Maltese dishes – therefore the strained vacation shirt!
