Friends of the Earth Malta is excited to announce a special collaboration with BirdLife Malta, bringing nature enthusiasts, families, and curious minds closer to wildlife through a live YouTube stream of a Barn Swallow nest.

The Barn Swallow is a familiar sight during migration in Malta, but it is relatively uncommon for these birds to stop and nest on the islands. This makes the current nesting event a unique opportunity to observe a remarkable chapter in the life cycle of one of Europe’s most recognisable migratory birds.

Since the live stream began, viewers have already witnessed some extraordinary moments. From the careful incubation of the eggs to the successful hatching of the chicks, the nest has offered a fascinating glimpse into the dedication and resilience of these small birds. Now, as the chicks continue to grow, we can watch the parent swallows tirelessly feed, protect, and care for their young throughout the day.

The live feed offers more than just an intimate view of bird behaviour. It is also a chance to learn about migration, nesting habits, biodiversity, and the importance of protecting natural habitats. Observing wildlife in real time helps foster a deeper appreciation for the species that share our environment and highlights the value of conservation efforts.

We invite everyone to tune in to the live stream, follow the progress of the growing family, and join the conversation. Viewers are encouraged to share their observations, ask questions through the live chat, and engage with fellow nature lovers as we discover and celebrate the wonders of the natural world together.

Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher or simply curious about the lives of these remarkable migratory birds, this is a rare opportunity not to be missed.
