Short video featuring several Honey Buzzards seen during Autumn Raptor migration from Buskett (Malta) in 2008. A total of 813 Honey Buzzards were seen during the whole migration period. The last scene shows a Honey Buzzard with gunshot injuries, found by police. Illegal Hunting is a big wound for the Maltese Islands but is gradually being cured.
Malta is an important place for migrating raptors. A fact which hunters in Malta try to discredit.
When illegal hunting is eliminated from Malta, the passage of birds of prey would undoubtedly become more heavy and spectacular.
