maltatoday | SUNDAY • 9 FEBRUARY 2025 5 ALMANAC Nature Notebook 957. Green Sandpiper WINTER is starting to loosen its grip. Days are getting longer and despite the recent cool snaps the signs are there: trees sprouting new leaf, early spring flowers blooming – and migratory birds turning up. One of the earliest spring migrants to clock in is the green sand- piper (M. swejda), a shorebird. It's one of those species that fly all the way up to the Siberian tundra to nest, so they do well to get a good head start, considering they also need to fly across the Sahara on their way north. A few turn up at wetlands like Għadira, Simar and Salina nature reserves. They would readily explore our sandy shores to sift around in the sand with their long beak for juicy worms and crustaceans but our beaches are too busy for these shy creatures. So thank goodness for protected sites.
