Dunlin THE dunlin is one of our smaller shorebirds, or waders. Waders are a large family, most of which live along the waterline. For these birds, life is literally a beach but it is no easy life. Shores are very exposed habitats that afford very little shelter from weather or pred- ators. To escape attention waders are often cryptic in colour, and the dunlin (M. pispisella tad-dabra) is no exception. Small and with few colours to speak of (even drabber in winter) they skulk around on sandy or muddy shores looking for food. Dunlins have a typical wader bill: long, thin and tapering, ideal for probing wet mud for worms and other invertebrates. Dunlins nest way up north so we only see them on migration to and from Africa. A few often turn up in places like Għadira, Is-Simar and Salina wetlands to spend a few days in the relative sanctuary of these protected sites. Dunlins are also a protected species per se, so they're supposedly off limits to hunters wherever they turn up. 5 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 24 MAY 2026 ALMANAC Victor Falzon, James Aquilina (photo) Registration is required :This event is in collaboration with Valletta Contemporary.
