🇨🇾 🦅 1. Our autumn bird protection camp has officially begun in Cyprus! In just the first week, we've already caught six poachers and, as a direct result of our investigations, 128 limesticks and several electronic decoys have been confiscated.

Associated Press sympathizes with the poor Hеzbollah tеrrorists. It's awful. Think of all the tеrror attacks this tеrrorist will no longer be able to commit.📟

@RSPBEngland It needs to be banned for so many reasons. Dreadfully disappointing that RSPB are not calling for a complete ban despite all evidence of the damage done.

@LeeAndersonMP_ Country is fucking ruined. It's literally on its arse due to Tories before, but Labour has taken it to a new level.

Swifts live a life on the wing. From fledging at around 6 weeks old to the first time they breed at 3-4 years, they are unlikely to have touched the ground. They'll fly around 7000 miles each year and can reach speeds of 70mph. #SwiftAwarenessWeek

2/3 For 20 years, CABS has run a vital project in the Zülpicher Börde - between Cologne & Aachen. Together with ornithologists, conservation groups, authorities & farmers, we search for & mark the nests of the now rare birds of prey, thus saving the chicks from certain death!

⚠️🦅 1/3 Saving Harriers in the Rhineland - A Race Against Time Every spring, Marsh & Montagu's Harriers return from Africa to nest in Rhineland's cereal fields. The danger? Their young don't fledge before the harvest, often being killed under the combine harvesters.

@StarMan92062292 Steady, thanks for asking. We have 4 teams monitoring Malta & Gozo. We’ve had several trapping cases in recent days & this morning marked the opening of spring hunting (for quail) yet many hunters also seen blatantly targeting turtle dove from hunting towers. Updates soon!

⚠️ Three bird trappers caught & convicted in #Cyprus with nets & 56 limesticks & decoys thanks to our team currently on the ground. Since heavy penalties (>8000€) were introduced in Cyprus in 2017 for poaching in spring, we have seen a very sharp decline in bird trapping!

We are livestreaming a White-Tailed Eagle nest camera for the very first time on our YouTube. This footage shows resident pair Finn and Shona during a visit last year. They last used the nest in 2022 but have been spotted at the site during the winter, which means they could

The countryside is being turned into a killing field for the pleasure of heartless shooters. This isn’t sport—it’s an outrage! Stop the slaughter!

Birding highlights from the St Davids Peninsula this year. The unexpected male Pallid Harrier the star bird for me, found in October it graced us for 2 months but disappeared after Storm Daragh in December. @PembsBirds

What a group of manly men huh? Running down coyotes with hounds and snowmobiles. Absolutely none of this is necessary, it is all about thrill-killing. This endless predator persecution is madness! #EndPredatorPersecution #ProtectWildlife #TheConservationLie
