Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away. Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club. | ||||||

| I am a 16 year old birder and have been birdwatching actively for the last two years or so. Best sites are Buskett, which is a small woodland area and the wetland reserves Ghadira and Simar as well as others. You'll get the most of your holiday if you visit in the migration periods; spring and autumn. | ||||||

| E | Mallia | Mosta | Anytime | Maltese/English Italian |
| Malta is a small country and so distance is not an issue where all sites are easily accessible. I am a ringer and normally go ringing mainly for passerines but also some seabirds on weekends whenever I can. | ||||||

| C | Coleiro | Zebbug | Anytime | English |
| I have been birdwatching for 25 years and I am the manager of Simar nature reserve in Malta which is the only reedbed found. The best time to visit Malta is during spring and autumn. | ||||||
