Winter visitors arrive! Larger flocks of starlings spotted across Malta

Larger flocks of starlings are beginning to make their presence felt across Malta as the birds arrive for their annual winter stay.

A local photographer has captured the growing gatherings in a series of photographs and videos shared on Feathers over Malta, documenting the seasonal arrival.

According to the photographer, smaller numbers of starlings have already been spotted around the islands for some time, but significantly larger flocks have started appearing in recent days.

The birds are particularly noticeable in the mornings, when they spread out across different parts of the country in search of food.
