Bird ringing

is a vital activity that helps protect birds. In Malta, birds are humanely caught in

mist nets

which are checked every ten minutes. Each bird is ringed and

weighed

before being released. About 10% are retraps (i.e. they have been ringed before). The programme is carried on by

BirdLife Malta

.

Ringing has shown that birds from at least 48 countries use Malta during migration. Unfortunately, Malta has the densest population of bird hunters in the European Union. The high numbers of wild birds illegally shot in Malta has led to the European Commission taking legal infringement proceedings against the Maltese Government over Article 5 of the Birds Directive.
