Stop harvesting migrant birds!

Stop harvesting migrant birds!

The Issue

Swallows martins warblers and other long- distance  migrants are being netted in vast numbers in Egypt using industrial scale mist nets made in China, to be sold for a pittance and eaten as delicacies in restaurants. This disaster is going unnoticed. Migrant birrds have a tough enough time with all the  other  pressures they face without this devastaing hurdle.  Numbers arriving in the UK are plummeting! We must  act now if we are to save the birds that  grace our  skies each summer. Stop the slaughter!
