Migrating Cranes over Malta

Due to the harsh cold winter large numbers of Cranes flew over Malta while on their migartion towards Africa. Over 1000 were seen on the 20th and 21st December. An amazing spectacle indeed for all those lucky to witness so many cranes flying over Malta.

Cranes are very scarce visitors in Malta mainly seen in small flocks in December, November and occasionally in March.

The last time so many cranes were recorded was in the year 1970 in March when 400 were seen from Salina.

Enjoy and thanks for watching:-)
