I have been in Malta for a week now, settling in to a new job at Birdlife Malta and getting my bearings. Weighing in at a combined 120 square miles, the three small islands that make up the Republic of Malta lie south of Italy in the Mediterranean Sea.
Famous for its long human history stretching back over 7000 years (including two of the worlds greatest sieges), its balmy Mediterranean climate and its unfortunate reputation as being home to more hunters and trappers per square mile than any other country, Malta is a place that punches above its weight.

Over the next seven months I will use this blog to post photos, upload trip reports, and generally muse on the state of birds and their conservation in Malta.
