Well, at least you can't see all the #birds being illegally trapped and shot by hunters from up there.

Today’s soloist: the Blue Rock-thrush – Malta’s national bird.

He sings from cliffs, rooftops and ruins to make sure everyone hears him.

No mic, no auto-tune, just pure confidence.

Today’s sky champion: the Swift (Rundun).

Almost never lands. Sleeps while flying. Stays in the air for months.

Basically built for the sky - not for the ground.

Raised feathers = alert, excited or showing off.

Nature’s drama queen? Maybe. 😉
