In an effort to monitor the use of the Glacis Park at Manoel Island by small land birds during spring migration, bird ringers from BirdLife Malta’s ringing scheme recently held a series of bird ringing sessions at the island’s Glacis Park. The Manoel Island Glacis Park is an isolated green area surrounded by an urbanised environment, attracting birds on their journey from southerly wintering areas up to their breeding territories in Europe. The Glacis Park will be rehabilitated as part of MIDI’s plans to develop Manoel Island, providing a public park measuring 80,000sqm for the public to enjoy and appreciate.
