Black Necked Grebe Rescued & Released At Ghadira Nature Reserve

Jan 9 2025

Birdlife Malta shared a heartwarming video of the moment a black-necked grebe was released back into the wild.

The Brod was found stranded on a road in Ghajnsielem, Gozo and was rescued just in time.

‘During migration, grebes sometimes mistake reservoirs or private pools for safe landing spots, leaving them disoriented and at risk’, the NGO explained.

After careful veterinary check-ups, the bird was ringed and safely released into the wild at Ghadira Nature Reserve, ‘where it can thrive and plenty of food.’

Birdlife Malta highlighted the importance of being vigilant during migration seasons, as coming across stranded birds and acting quickly can make a big difference.
