Description

Xrobb L-Għaġin is the south-eastern most point of the Maltese Islands. A lot of species of birds that visit the park are typical to open expanses, such as Eurasian Hoopoe, European Turtle Dove, Common Quail, Larks, Wagtails, Redstarts, Wheatears etc. But in the tall trees you can also see Flycathers, Sparrows and Robins, while in the shrubs you can find Zitting Cisticola and Sardinian Warbler which is residential and makes its nests in the Mediterranean Buckthorn bushes in the park. The park may look deserted at first glance, but it is a good birding place especially for passerines.
