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.

It is also the last issue of the present editor, Brother Edmund of St. Michael's College, who is leaving Malta before the next issue to do missionary work in Ethiopia. During the last five years while I have been in Malta it has been a great privilege to have been associated with the Malta Ornithological Society in trying to achieve their laudable aims of increasing the local knowledge of birds and attempting to check the senseless massacre of birds that masquerades under the ignoble title of sport.
