This is how our Blackcaps end up in Cyprus: as dead meat! 2.500.000 migrating birds are killed each year in Cyprus alone.

Twice a year Cyprus, the third greatest island in the mediterranean, is a crucial stopover site for millions of migrating birds during their sea crossings. Due to these huge numbers of migrating birds, hunting and trapping has alwasy been part of the island’s history. But now it is a killing zone out there..

We try to help Birdlife Cyprus trying to make thinks better for our Blackcaps and other birds that get trapped and killed in the process.
