BirdLife Malta have released back into the wild another four birds which were successfully rehabilitated during the past months.

The three Song Thrushes and a Common Kestrel were released at BirdLife’s Ghadira Nature Reserve on the first day of February, as soon as the autumn hunting season had ended, “to ensure that they wouldn’t be shot again,” the NGO said.

BirdLife Malta explained that “three out of the four birds had in fact been illegally shot whilst the other one was kept in captivity and used as a live decoy.”
