Did you know birds find pockets of warm air known as thermals to gain height without needing to flap? In this soaring behaviour, mostly seen in raptors, birds fly in circles inside the thermal, rising up with it until reaching the top to continue their journeys. #onthemove
This is a rare bird species for Malta...a Blyth's Reed-warbler which was ringed by one of BirdLife Malta's ringers on Gozo earlier this week. It is only the 5th record for Malta!
