Gozitans are being encouraged to join BirdLife Malta’s LIFE PanPuffinus project team and Dwejra Marine Environmental Education Centre for an exciting and informative evening, including a night walk.

Participants will meet at Dwejra Bay for an exciting evening of exploring the local marine ecosystems. The date to remember is Saturday, the 7th of May, from 7pm to 9.30pm.

There will be a tour and presentation of the Dwejra Marine Environmental Education Centre, followed by an informative talk from the LIFE PanPuffinus! team who work to conserve and protect local Shearwater species.

Following this, there will be a night walk near the cliffs to listen to the calls of the Yelkouan and Scopoli’s Shearwaters as they fly in to land to nest in the cliffs.

This event will cost €2 per person, all money going towards the Dwejra Marine Centre. Payment will be collected on arrival, BirdLife Malta said.

Shearwater-calling activity is variable and might pick up late, BirdLife said that they are happy to stay some time past the event end time if any participants would like to.

Spaces are limited, so book now to avoid disappointment. This event is open to all, however, Gozitans will take priority.

The organisers have advised to be sure to wear comfortable shoes suitable for rough and rocky ground. Please take a red-light torch. “If you do not own one, we have a few to lend.”
