Birdlife has claimed that one of its members was punched by a trapper in an argument over an illegal site at Delimara.

A spokeswoman said three of its members were involved in an argument with four individuals.

A police spokesman said they were investigating the argument, which had taken place between Birdlife members and the owners of fields in Delimara. He said nothing related to illegal trapping was discovered by the police.

Ferry service rescheduled

Ferry services to Pozzallo have been rescheduled after the catamaran MV Jean de La Vallette made “slight contact” with the pier at Pozzallo during berthing yesterday.

The company, Virtu, said until repair works were complete, the service with MV San Ġwann, deployed as a substitute, would be passenger only.

It apologised for the inconvenience.
