Think fleeing saves you? Think again. 🛑 A poacher in Zygi, #Cyprus was caught TWICE in 3 weeks, racking up €18,500+ in fines for illegal mist netting. Big penalties are crucial to ending the illegal bird trapping for good!

Rescued from horrific conditions in #Lebanon, this #Kestrel had her eyes sewn shut for 6 weeks while being used as a live decoy by a falcon trapper. After our team saved her and a vet removed the stitches, the shocked bird took back to the sky, free at last!

Migratory birds arrived in Malta seeking shelter from the storms, only to face illegal hunting. @BirdLifeEurope raises the alarm over the massive killing of protected birds in Malta. Our migratory birds need stronger protection, not weaker laws. birdlife.org/news/2026/10/13…

Massive killing of protected birds in Malta

Illegal hunting of wild birds in Malta reaches unprecedented numbers in September while the government considers weakening penalties.

If you love Owls and other birds there's a great way to help them... support the vital work of CABS_REPORTS. A monthly contribution, however small, really adds up. Btw, am not affiliated, but hugely admire their ongoing, effective campaigns to protect our avian friends. 🪶🦉🕊
