Għadira Nature Reserve
Mellieħa, Malta
Għadira (Maltese: L-Għadira, lit. 'the pond') also known as Għadira Nature Reserve (Maltese: ir-Riserva Naturali tal-Għadira) is a protected area located in the locality of Mellieħa, Malta. It comprises a brackish lake and a salt marsh habitat. Due to Malta's arid climate, permanent inland water areas are rare, making the Għadira wetlands an extremely important habitat for birds and other wildlife. Many of the birds observed here are migratory, stopping to rest before continuing their migration. From November to May, guided tours of the reserve are available (volunteers from BirdLife Malta). Entry to the reserve is free.
