According to Birdlife CEO Mark Sultana, a record 10,786 white wagtails (Zakak Abjad) were recorded at Great Siege Square and St John Square during an annual count last Saturday.
“This year was a special year, with an influx of white wagtails visiting our islands, which coincided well with a decision not to prune the trees these birds seek every night,” Mr Sultana said.
“Thousands of birds flying in to roost is an amazing spectacle. We hope it encourages people to visit the city in the evenings to spot these beautiful birds.”
