Avid bird watcher and bird photographer, Mario Gauci has just snapped a breath-taking rare sight of Mount Etna on the horizon.

Gauci, who is a seasoned bird photographer told Lovin Malta that the location is a hotspot for fellow bird watchers such as himself, but today another wonderous sight caught everyone’s eye.

“Every morning I take my dogs for a three-hour walk through Salini Salt Pans where dedicated staff and keen photographers gather to capture beautiful images of birds and other animals,” Gauci told Lovin Malta.
Gauci was quick to snap a stunning photo of the event, showcasing the towering volcano amidst a hazy pink sky. Many have managed to capture this phenomenon from around various locations on the island, however, the weather conditions have to be just right, making it truly a rare occurrence.
