Autumn raptor migration over Malta

摘要

Raptor migration in Malta has been monitored regularly in recent years from Buskett, a wooded garden in the southwest of the island. Observations in autumn have long pointed to the relative importance of Malta for migrating raptors crossing the central Mediterranean. In recent years, systematic observations from other localities have shown that raptor migration occurs on a considerably larger scale than has been reported previously. This paper presents a summary of the data collected so far.
