Become a BirdLife member 1040. Tree pipit SOME birds are easy to see because they're big or colourful or both, others are small with subdued or even cryptic livery. Such birds you will more likely hear first and maybe – if you're observant and lucky – spot. The tree pipit (M. diżż) is in this second category. Tree pipits are common migrants at this time of year. If your ears are tuned to the sounds of nature you may pick up the characteristic thin 'pizz' call that tells you that one or a small flock of tree pipits just zoomed past somewhere over your head. If you spot and follow this speck of a bird with your eyes until it lands, and you happen to have binoculars at hand, you will see this slim, rather nondescript greenish-brown bird with a streaky pale breast, strutting about on the grass looking for insects and worms to snap up. But it won't be staying long as tree pipits don't winter here. They're only dropping by for a rest and a snack. 5 maltatoday | SUNDAY • 27 SEPTEMBER 2026 ALMANAC Victor Falzon, Aron Tanti (Photo) Register Now: https://foemalta.org/event/kamp-kem- muna-gheluq-is-sajf/ Kamp Kemmuna: Għeluq is-Sajf Reflections Through Time
