It’s not so easy to find a nice place where to breed on Malta! A lot of bird species choose our island as their home...a place where they want to live and raise their chicks. Let’s be nice neighbours and help them live more comfortably in our towns and villages! Building a nest box is of great help to the birds around the island... apart from being a nice opportunity for you to spend some quality time with your children! It is also a opportunity to teach your kids to care about nature and learn something new about birds. In view of this we’re organising a Family Nest Box Workshop, during which we will lead you through the process and provide you with materials. Our birders will tell you more about the breeding process and birds' behaviour. We will also have some time for birdwatching, minibeast hunting and games! At the end of the event you will have your own nest box to install it and care about it, and above all, for its occupant! Now is the perfect time to build a nest box, but since we’re already in the breeding season you’ll be using this next spring! ☝️Participation fee & booking: Booking will be open until Friday 28th June on a first-come first-served basis and it is limited to 10 families. Parents are welcome to bring more than one child and build their nest box together. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. We will provide all the materials and tools needed to build a nest box…we just need you to bring along your own hammer 🔨 Participation fee per family is: – €5 for members – €7 for non-members ☝️ To choose which nest box you want to build and book your place visit our website: https://birdlifemalta.org/2019/06/family-nest-box-workshop/

Did you know that the west coast of Gozo, on either side of Dwejra, is home to three seabird species? In fact, over 1,000 pairs of Scopoli’s Shearwater (Ċiefa), around 150 pairs of Yelkouan Shearwater (Garnija) and even a small colony of Mediterranean Storm-petrel (Kanġu ta’ Filfla) nest in the impressive cliffs and large sea caves in this part of Malta’s sister island. We invite you to join us to learn more about the seabirds nesting in the Maltese Archipelago, their habitats, the threats that they face and what you can do to help them. Above all, to join us for a short walk along the cliffs (1km each way but on rough path) after sunset to listen to the Scopoli’s Shearwaters' calling frenzy. LIFE Arċipelagu Garnija project is co-hosting this event with Din l-Art Helwa and are lucky to start off the event at the Dwejra Tower. This unique seventeenth century Gozitan coastal watchtower, was restored in 1997 and is now managed by Din l-Art Ħelwa, Malta's National Trust. Completed in 1652, Dwejra Tower commands marvellous views over the coast overlooking Dwejra Bay and Fungus Rock. We will make sure to catch a glimpse of the sunset from the tower roof. For those not able to join the walk there will be the possibility to stay on the tower roof after sunset, with good chances of hearing Scopoli’s Shearwaters from here too. Incidentally Dwejra, Gozo is one of the least light-polluted areas in the Maltese Islands, making part of a Dark Sky Heritage Area, so apart from the sunset and calling shearwaters we hope to enjoy a star-filled sky! 👉 Participation fee & booking: Participation is open to all, but places are limited to 25. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Participation fee is: - €5 for adults - €3 for children and students To book your place and make payment please visit the event page on our website: https://birdlifemalta.org/2019/05/a-night-with-the-scopolis 👉 Additional info: There is plenty of parking at Dwejra but please do keep the environment in mind and attempt to carpool. The walk from the road up to the tower is short (100m) on uneven and unsurfaced paths. There are no public toilet facilities at the tower, but these can be found 300m just before the road leading to the inland sea. The tower roof is accessed by a 17th century staircase with steep and uneven stone steps. Please make sure you wear sturdy footwear, bring a torch (preferably with red light) and drinking water.
