| Abstract: | In the evening of 2 November 2017, the author was forwarded a couple of photos of a claimed Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio taken at Il-Magħluq, Marsaxlokk by bird photographer Benny Scerri. It was immediately noticed that the bird was in fact a first winter Brown Shrike Lanius cristatus. Since this species was never recorded in Malta, the author visited the site early the following morning, along with a considerable number of local birdwatchers including Nicholas Galea, Raymond Galea, Martin Austad, Adin Vella, and Luke Vella amongst others. |
