Educational Activity

Seven schools will be combining to help plant out habitat zones for Biodiversity "observation stations".
The plantings will occur in the morning then the afternoon will be a celebration of the Maori Matariki Festival where the children will fly the kites they have made to celebrate the departure AND return of the Migratory Birds that feed on the lake mudflats during summer.

We will distribute educational materials and drawing birds (with birds native to our region)for children to color.

The children from these schools have each built their own nesting box for the little blue penguins to (hopefully)nest in when they come ashore to breed in early spring here.
The Aorangi trust has been trapping predators - stoats, wild cats, rats so that the area becomes a safer breeding ground.
On Monday the children will be placing their box along selected sections of the Cape Palliser coastline.

This weekend, BirdLife Malta will welcome feathered and non-feathered visitors to the two Nature Reserves of Ghadira, near Mellieha, and Is-Simar, in Xemxija, as countries around the world celebrate International Migratory Bird Day on the 11th and 12th of May.

The Maltese Islands are an important stopover for birds migrating in the spring from Africa to Europe, where they breed in the summer months before returning to Africa in the autumn. This spring, 60 different bird-species (most of they migratory) have been recorded at Ghadira and Simar alone.
