Nesting Spoonbills
Nesting platforms in the 'open' enclosure in the bird park near Bugibba have all been adopted by spoonbills. I couldn't be certain but I think there were eggs in at least one of the nests.These are African spoonbills (pink faces) that are not listed on Maltese bird lists and certainly not as breeders. It will be interesting to see if they manage to colonise using the bird park as a base.
