Enough is enough
These awesome rare birds that are just clinging on as species are being shot by thugs who get a thrill out of killing these birds
Boycott Malta now until their Govt mobilizes and stops this evil
A rare and highly protected Black Stork was shot down on Tuesday just outside Buskett, as it was being filmed by birdwatchers.
This is the reality migrating birds face in Malta.

Is anyone able to confirm if this is Brown Banded Carder Bee? and if so are there records from Marden area in Kent? Sorry very little knowledge on bees! The little I’ve read says possibly a decent record?
Put the trap on for the first time this year! and got lucky with this Striped Hawkmoth and a Bordered Straw.. ObsIdentify is saying Eastern, wondered if anyone can confirm?
14 species of Dragonfly on patch today included Lesser Emperor (thanks for confirming @MarcHeathym007 ) several Norfolk Hawkers and Downy Emeralds.
11 mile walk round Sandwich town and Sandwich Bay today @Sandwichbirdobs best bits were 2 Sedge Warblers, Swallow, Yellow Wagtail and Firecrest. Worth looked ripe for migrants, I only found a Ruff, but there were plenty birds around.

Great 30 minutes on patch this morning adding 2 patch year ticks, first a Redshank not common here, then Mark found an Avocet! only the 3rd record for the site, it remained until the afternoon. The patch list is now at 85 for the year.
Hi, a quick update we visited my consultant and my PSA is now 0 which means I’m in remission! 🎉
Thank to those who have messaged/donated it has helped at this tricky time, thanks to birders I’ve met while out who have shared their stories and checked how I’m doing. All the best.
