There has been a number of keen ornithologists in the past but we doubt if there has been such a constant day to day checking of the status of all resident and migrant birds as has been carried out by the active members of Malta Ornithological Society in the past four years. The results as printed in this issue are a real contribution to the bird section of Natural History and we are rightly proud of this. 1971-01-01T00:00:00Z Il-Merill : bulletin of the Malta Ornithological Society no. 05 /library/oar/handle/123456789/40529 2019-03-01T02:25:43Z 1971-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Il-Merill : bulletin of the Malta Ornithological Society no. 05 Abstract: The title of the Society's Bulletin, IL-MERILL, is the Maltese name for the Blue Rock Thrush, Monticola Solitarius, which is one of the few resident species of the Islands. It was chosen as the National Bird of Malta by the local National Section of the international Council for Bird Preservation and has been the emblem of the Malta Ornithological Society since the latter's inception. 1971-01-01T00:00:00Z Systematic list 1967-1970 /library/oar/handle/123456789/40525 2019-03-01T02:25:42Z 1971-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Systematic list 1967-1970 Abstract: List of birds seen in Malta for the period between 1967-1970. 1971-01-01T00:00:00Z
