Mute Swan , Malta, Gozo, 02 January 2017

Birding in Malta
For Malta wild Mute Swans are a very rare sighting indeed. A flock of 12 birds (originally they were 13)has landed in a man made dam in Marsalforn Valley in Gozo where lots of people went to see them. Sometimes Mute Swans visit our Islands in December or January when temperatures in Europe get really low.
