SI VIVES EN ESPAÑA Y TE APASIONAN LAS AVES:
Si vives en España y te apasionan las aves, por favor, ¡ayúdanos a crear un mejor "fórum" ornitológico! Aquí en Andalucia Bird Society queremos y esperamos hacer de nuestro foro un recurso valioso, y tú puedes hacer una gran contribución: únete a nosotros y házte uno de nuestros primeros miembros castellano-parlantes.

Hasta la fecha, la casi totalidad de la gente adscrita a nuestra sociedad es no-nativa y, mientras apreciamos sus inestimables aportaciones, nos encantaría que la gente española amante de las aves formara también parte de nuestro grupo.

Queremos que personas que tienen el castellano como lengua materna escriban sus notícias y/o historias en "la lengua de Cervantes", y nos parecería maravilloso poder intercambiar opiniones, información, etc , con la gente del país. Somos muy conscientes también de que tú puedes tener notícias que no nos han llegado a nosotros y, además, de que podrías estar mejor informado que nosotros sobre ciertos temas de conservación. Así pues, por favor, ¡únete a nosotros y participa!

Se puede ver el foro siguiendo el enlace escrito abajo. ¡Muchas gracias!

Despite a serious population decline more than half a million lapwings were shot and trapped in the E.U. every year. Just for fun and in accordance with the European Directive for the protection of birds. The Committee against bird slaughter (CABS) demands from the European Commission (EC) to ban hunting on this and other threatened species in the whole E.U. To support this campaign CABS produced a short video showing the trapping Lapwings in France which was published on Youtube yesterday.

If you want to see the video you can use the following Link:

If you want to help the Lapwing please write to the EC and protest against this selfish hobby.

I can't really agree with the use of the word "barbaric" in this topic but I would agree the system is just another ignorant human occupation...

The guy in the video puts the trapped lapwing in a box.... This isn't a hobby, this is for monetary gain. Surely he is going to sell the birds he trapped?

But what for?

I have never seen lapwing on the menu in France or Spain (i have never been to Italy)

Are these birds being trapped for eating? I'd like some more information please...

Looking further into the CABS website I see a lot of things that as a naturalist I don't agree with... Please don't get me wrong here... I am not condoning some bird hunting practices but in the same breath I can't go along with the statements in the website.....

Couldn't think of a more suitable collective noun!
