Channel between the islands of Malta and Gozo which forms a bottleneck for spring migration of ducks, waders and other birds.
The channel between the 2 main islands forms a migration bottleneck in early spring, especially for Garganey and Ferruginous Duck , as well as Northern Pintail, Whimbrel, Black-tailed Godwit and various other species. On good days several hundred birds can be seen of various species. The best days for duck migration usually correlate with the March full moon. Find somewhere to watch over the channel with a scope and hope for the best.
Most birders watch from near the ferry terminal at Cirkewwa, which is easily accessible by public transport or by car. Anywhere with a view of the channel is good.
