The extent of coverage remained much the same as in recent years. While the autumn migration of raptors was again well covered, sea-watching remained a much neglected field, no doubt due to the paucity of sea-birds in this part of the world. 1981-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/39115 Title: Herring gulls chasing Grey herons Abstract: While on a fishing boat close to Filfla in the afternoon of 19th March 1980, a flock of 13 Grey herons Ardea cinerea were noted heading for Filfla trying to alight on the rocks. 1981-01-01T00:00:00Z /library/oar/handle/123456789/39113 Title: Il-Merill : bulletin of the Ornithological Society no. 21 Abstract: The Ornithological Society was founded in 1962 to promote the scientific study of ornithology and bird conservation in the Maltese islands.

As there was no time for focusing binoculars and as this bird was not seen again, it was given up as a one-time occurrence. 1981-01-01T00:00:00Z
