Apologies if my post annoys those of you who only want to read about local sightings but the most sobering article about new levels of bird slaughter are to be found on Tony Cross' Ruffled Feathers blog for July 27th.
This is devastating information gathered by an independent reporter -::focusingonwildlife.com:news:massive-bird-slaughter-around-the-mediterranean-shocking-photos:.webloc
Please support the good guys in the various bird protection associations, they do make a difference at risk to their own lives and get out there and enjoy our birds whilst you can!
